Work has begun “in earnest” on Kevin Feige’s Star Wars movie, but we still have no idea what it’s about.
We’ve known for quite some time that Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige was attached to a Star Wars movie, but details have been sparse, which is understandable. As the guru of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Feige no doubt has his hands full juggling the one million and one projects.
Nonetheless, things are moving forward on this mysterious new Star Wars flick. Loki and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness writer Michael Waldron is penning the script, and to hear him tell it, things are finally kicking into gear.
“We’re finally into it in earnest. I mean, I’m writing away,” Waldron told Variety. “It’s a lot of fun. I’m enjoying having the freedom on that to do something that’s not necessarily a sequel or anything. It maybe has a little bit less of a — it just doesn’t have a bunch of TV shows and movies that you’re servicing on top of it, the way I did with Doctor Strange. So it’s nice. It feels like a different exercise.”
We know practically nothing about the Star Wars movie that Feige and Waldron have in the works, but from Waldron’s comments it sounds like it won’t be tied very heavily to Disney’s other Star Wars films or TV shows.
Given that the script is just now being written, it’ll likely be some time before we get any solid details regarding its plot or setting. Will it include Jedi? Will it be a Sith rom-com? The podracing equivalent of The Fast and the Furious? Who can say?
In the meantime, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is in theaters now.
