LOKI and DOCTOR STRANGE 2 Writer Talks About Working on Kevin Feige's STAR WARS Project
Michael Waldron, the writer of Loki and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, is also working on another film project with Kevin Feige, but it’s not a Marvel movie. Waldron is currently working with Feige on the Star Wars project that he’s developing for Lucasfilm.
In a recent interview with GQ, Waldron talked about his approach to the new Star Wars movie, saying:
"I think the success of the MCU is, for all the amazing science-fiction and concepts and all that stuff; ultimately the success is built upon the characters, their humanity, their very relatable conflicts, friendships, and the family that is the MCU. And I think Star Wars, at its best, is a story about family. Han, Luke, and Leia were a family; you love seeing them together, and you hated it when they were split apart. It’s great characters. That’s nothing new. I am not going to blow anybody’s mind with that headline—but that’s my biggest takeaway.
"It’s very early days on [Star Wars]. That’s probably the thing I can say least about, unfortunately. The thing Kevin Feige shares in common with Dan Harmon and with Sam Raimi is an absolute collaborative spirit and a remarkable lack of ego given what he’s accomplished. Kevin is a great listener. He wants to hear your ideas, take in how you might do something, and then help you make it better. Beyond all that, he’s just a cool guy."
We have no idea what exactly Feige and Waldron are planning for their Star Wars film, but we can’t wait to see what they cook up! I can’t help but think that this creative team is going to deliver an incredible story that the fans are going to love!
It was also previously reported that “Feige has told a major actor that there’s a specific role he would like that person to play if and when he makes the movie.” We know nothing about who that actor is or the character that he wants that actor to play.
One thing we know for sure is that Feige’s story will not be connected to the Skywalker saga or any of the other projects that are currently in development.
