Star Wars: Taika Waititi’s film abandoned?



Star Wars : When are the next films?

If the series Star Wars they continue to come out at a regular pace Disney+in the cinema, it’s a little more complicated the universe created by George Lucas. Since 2019 and Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker, we talked about projects, but nothing has moved forward in a concrete way. This was however announced last April Margaret Ridley she would reprise her role as Rey in a new film. We still remain cautious because first many ads ended with nothing.

This was the case with Roque Squadron by Patty Jenkins. One example among others that demonstrates Disney’s difficulty in moving forward from the end of the new trilogy. However, the studio has set the dates for future feature films, without providing further details. The years pass, the projects follow one another, but still no image taken to date. And with the screenwriters’ strike, followed by that of Hollywood actors and actresses, we will have to be patient.

A line from Taika Waititi that is worrying

However, there was still hope for the project Taika Waititievoked from 2020. In 2022, the director also declared that he wanted to move away from the saga to propose something new and original. The director of the last one Thor has had a string of box office hits, which gives it weight and credibility. However, a recent statement from Taika Waititi sows doubt.

During the TIFF Tribute Awards, Taika Waititi paid tribute to Shawn Levy. A humorous intervention during which the director jokes about Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds. He also highlights Shaw Levy’s talent and promises him a bright future and, surely, one day, the keys to a movie Star Wars. It was then that he made a strange statement saying: “Unlike me, let’s hope he can finish a script for this“.

It’s hard to know if this is just a joke from Taika Waititi, who is having fun with the time that has passed since it was confirmed he was writing the screenplay of a film Star Wars. But, once again, there is still nothing concrete in his project, three years after his announcement. Nothing to be reassured about…
