Patty Jenkins And Kevin Feige’s ‘Star Wars’ Movies Have Been Shelved

According to new reports, a couple of long-gestating projects in the Star Wars universe from some high-profile people appear to finally be dead in the water. According to sources close to Disney and Lucasfilm, the production brought to us by Patty Jenkins, Rogue Squadron, has apparently made its final run. Since 2020, Patty Jenkins was to helm this exciting new film even so much as to appear in a pseudo trailer that gave Top Gun meets Star Wars vibes, but with Disney pulling the title from a 2023 release, the project is all but dead. Perhaps with her away from under the mouse’s thumb, she could find herself back in the running over at DC to take another kick at the Wonder Woman can and old Disney pal, James Gunn.
Meanwhile, MCU leader Kevin Feige was to helm his own Star Wars story, but with multiple Marvel projects coming over the next few years leading to another Avengers event in 2026, it seems like Disney would rather he spend time honing that product instead of dividing his time. While Feige’s movie had little to no detail, we do know that Michael Waldron of Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness fame was to be the writer, and he was “enjoying the freedom on that to do something that’s not necessarily a sequel or anything” we are only left guessing what was to be, but perhaps we got a series, not in the Skywalker saga or even timeline.
But don’t be too sad as it appears we may not be without any Star Wars cinema product as Taika Waititi’s movie is still a go, and we have a yet-to-be-announced project brought to us by the director of Ms. Marvel episodes, Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy and written by Damon Lindelof and Justin Britt-Gibson with a hopefully 2025 release. So while Star Wars appears to be on the back burner over at Disney right now, even with the start of season 3 of The Mandalorian with Star Wars Celebration coming in early April, we should get some more details and a clearer vision of what is to come.
