Lucasfilm is on the hunt for filmmakers to take on future film projects in the Star Wars franchise, and it looks like they want Thor: Raganoark and The Mandalorian director Taika Waititi to be a part of the franchise’s future.
THR reports that Disney and Lucasfilm have approached Waititi to develop a Star Wars movie. There’s no information on where things stand in those talks. It’s also unclear whether the project is separate from the Star Wars film being developed by Kevin Feige.
Waititi is a talented director and storyteller, and I would love to see him helm a Star Wars film, so I hope that this all works out for everyone! We’ve already seen what he could do with The Mandalorian, and I’d love to see what he would bring to a feature film.
With Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni’s involvement with the future of the Star Wars films, it makes sense that they would want to bring some of the other filmmakers they worked with on The Mandalorian along for the ride.
What do you think about Taika Waititi possibly coming in to direct a Star Wars movie?
