Taika Waititi, who directed the Marvel Cinematic Universe’sThor: Love and Thunder,has been roped in to show his filmmaking magic in another epic fantasy universe, LucasFilm’sStar Wars.
With over 11 live-action feature films and six live-action TV shows,Star Warsfans are blessed with plenty of drama that revolves before and after the events of the first George Lucas-directed film,Star Wars (Episode IV – A New Hope). Interestingly, Waititi has teased fans by suggesting his addition to the franchise will be different and might annoy some of them.
“It will be … dramatic pause… a Taika Waititi film. It’s gonna p-ss people off,”he said (viaVariety).
However, even to get irked by his work, these people will have to wait a long time as Waititi is still working on completing other scripts. He toldEntertainment Tonight:
“At the moment, I’m still developing something with them. Like me, [Lucasfilm] have a lot of projects going on. I think they’re gonna push it until I finish these other projects. I’ve got about four other scripts that I’m trying to finish. My thing is I want to take my time with that and get it right. I don’t want to rush this movie.”
Well, at least now we know that Waititi’sStar Warsis not in danger of being dumped and instead is in active development. Better late than never!
