There had been plenty of large bulletins on the Star Wars Celebration in London this previous weekend, like James Mangold‘s “Dawn Of The Jedi“ and Daisy Ridley‘s return as Rey in a future film. But what about long-rumored projects like Marvel head Kevin Feige‘s “Star Wars” venture or Petty Jenkins‘ “Rogue Squadron” film?
Lucasfilm‘s Kathleen Kennedy had scoop on both projects in an interview with IGN from the Celebration. And according to the studio ahead, only one of those projects was ever really a “project.” When asked if Feige and Jenkin’s concepts are not in improvement, Kennedy replies, “Well, they haven’t been shelved. Most things haven’t been shelved. Development is a complicated long-term process. [With] some people, we’re dealing with scheduling, because obviously really talented people are working. So, it’s often not a shelving, it’s just, ‘is it ready?’ That’s really what it comes down to.”
So, will Feige’s venture ever be prepared? Kennedy stated the reality is Feige and Lucasfilm by no means talked a couple of future venture within the first place. “Well, Kevin Feige’s project was something announced in the press or, I suppose, fandom, but nothing ever got developed,” Kennedy continued. “We never discussed an idea. As everyone knows, Kevin is a huge “Star Wars” fan, and if he did give you one thing, I’d be all ears, however that’s by no means actually occurred. So, it’s not likely an deserted venture: it simply didn’t occur.
As for Jenkins’ “Rogue Squadron,” Kennedy confirmed that Lucasfilm remains to be fascinated about that venture, however it could find yourself a Disney+ collection as an alternative of a function movie. “”Rogue Squadron,” that’s undoubtedly one thing that we nonetheless speak about,” she stated. “Whether it’s a movie or it ends up in the series space, that’s definitely something.” Lucasfilm first introduced Jenkins’ movie at a Disney Investor Day in 2020, however since then, it’s languished in improvement. But these delays are possible as a consequence of all the different tasks Lucasfilm has developed within the meantime as they chart their franchise’s course post-“The Rise Of Skywalker.”
So, relaxation straightforward, Patty Jenkins followers: “Wonder Woman 3” might not be a factor anymore, however “Rogue Squadron” nonetheless is. And as for Feige’s “Star Wars” venture, possibly that comes all the way down to a lesson of “don’t believe everything you read.” Besides, Feige has his palms full with future MCU phases anyway.
