Taika Waititi will be directing a new Star Wars film which will be being released to cinemas. He will be writing the script alongside 1917’s Krysty Wilson-Cairns.
The news has long-since been hint at following his success with Jojo Rabbit and Thor:Ragnarok but the director has been careful to not give too much away when asked about the project.
“Are there discussions about the ‘Star Wars’ film? Like, yeah, I discussed with my friends in 1996 how cool ‘Star Wars’ was. I think people see me hanging out with people, especially with ‘Star Wars,’ and think I’m having some big discussions about it. I would f—ing love to.…If it was right. I would want to do any kind of movie if it made sense, and if it felt not like career suicide.”
