It seems that the Shawn Levy directed, and probably Ryan Gosling led, Star Wars film would be the first one set submit Rise of Skywalker.
You already know, I truthfully assume it is fairly spectacular that Lucasfilm managed to make a Star Wars movie so universally disliked by all people that it is primarily prevented any extra motion pictures getting made inside that universe for six years. And but right here we’re, supposedly on the precipice of a bunch extra of them, although none have but to materialise. However chatting with Deadline, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy did at the least supply some updates on a number of completely different Star Wars film tasks, together with that one from Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy, which is reportedly going to position Ryan Gosling within the lead position.
When requested concerning the Levy directed movie, Kennedy defined that she’s “producing the Mandalorian film proper now, and I am additionally producing Shawn Levy’s film, which is after that.” Fairly notably right here, the entire interview comes off the again of a latest report that Kennedy could be stepping down as Lucasfilm president later this 12 months – when requested about that exact level, she defined that the “reality is, and I wish to simply say loud and clear, I’m not retiring. I’ll by no means retire from motion pictures. I’ll die making motion pictures.”
By way of these motion pictures she’s producing, Kennedy says the Levy one will likely be a couple of years after The Rise of Skywalker, saying that it is ” all post-[the first] 9. Shawn’s is a standalone Star Wars story that’ll happen post-nine, perhaps 5 – 6 years out.” She additionally famous that it “might convey a few of the characters again from the sequel saga,” but it surely’s just about principally new characters. This is hoping it will be adequate to erase Rise of Skywalker from our collective recollections.
What did not get a point out in that interview is the solo Rey film, which simply appears to be in perpetual bother; we’ll see how that one seems. At present the one film with a launch date is The Mandalorian & Grogu, which is due out Could 22, 2026, so I am certain Kennedy and co are hoping they’ll get one thing extra concrete in place quickly.
