Pikachu Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 https://www.starwars.com/news/taika-waititi-announce Quote Academy Award® winner Taika Waititi, who recently won Best Adapted Screenplay for Jojo Rabbit and directed the widely-acclaimed first season finale episode of The Mandalorian on Disney+, will direct and co-write a new Star Wars feature film for theatrical release. Joining Waititi on the screenplay will be Academy Award® nominee Krysty Wilson-Cairns (1917, Last Night in Soho), who received a BAFTA Award for Outstanding British Film of the Year on the three-time Oscar-winning film, 1917. In addition, Emmy®-nominated writer Leslye Headland (Russian Doll, Bachelorette) is currently developing a new untitled Star Wars series for Disney+. Headland will write, executive produce, and serve as showrunner for the series, which adds to a growing list of Star Wars stories for Disney’s streaming platform including The Mandalorian, now in post-production on Season Two, and two other previously announced series: one based on Cassian Andor’s life prior to the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and another following the adventures of Obi-Wan Kenobi between Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: A New Hope. Release dates for both Waititi’s and Headland’s projects have not yet been announced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoberChef Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Literally anything Taika works on turns into absolute GOLD! This is going to be nothing short of awesome then. The thing is, between his work on What We Do in the Shadows and Thor: Love & Thunder, I don't anticipate a new film in the Star Wars universe touched by Waititi to arrive before 2025!

The thing is, between his work on What We Do in the Shadows and Thor: Love & Thunder, I don't anticipate a new film in the Star Wars universe touched by Waititi to arrive before 2025! To be clear, Waititi has another movie coming out between Jojo Rabbit and Thor 4 called Next Goal Wins, which is already finished shooting and ready to be released. As for the TV show version of What We Do in the Shadows, Waititi only directed episodes 1, 7, and 10 of season 1 and isn't returning for any directing for season 2 of the show. So this could come out much sooner than 2025. Waititi has been cagey on still being on Akira, which he claims is what he'll do after Thor 4 first, though I doubt it now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
