Fresh off penning Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Loki creator Michael Waldron, has been tapped to write a new Star Wars movie produced by President & Marvel Studios and Chief Creative Officer, Kevin Feige.
Waldron is about to have a great working relationship with Disney as this is just one part of the recent deal Waldron signed with the studios that will keep him in business with Disney for some time. The deal is also expected to bring back Waldron in some capacity for season 2 of Loki & this is not only a rarity at the studios but it also clearly shows how much faith Disney, Marvel, and Lucasfilm has in Waldron going forward and should surely open doors for years to come and many more high-profile properties for the writer.
Kevin Feige’s produced Star Wars film was first announced in 2019 & this is the biggest movement on the project since that announcement was made. Lucasfilm recently announced several films at Disney’s Investor Day, including Rogue Squadron with Patty Jenkins, however, this was not one of them. In addition to Loki and the Doctor Strange sequel, Waldron was also a writer for Rick and Morty so he brings an interesting pedigree to the Star Wars universe and hints that they may be thinking outside of the box for their next wave of Star Wars projects.
