Taika Waititi Has Started Writing His Star Wars Movie

Taika Waititi confirms he’s started writing his upcoming Star Wars movie. Now that Lucasfilm has wrapped up the Skywalker saga, the future of the galaxy far, far away is wide open. The immediate future will see Disney+ be the dominant home for Star Wars content thanks to The Mandalorian and upcoming shows for Obi-Wan Kenobi and Cassian Andor. But, Lucasfilm is also busy developing several movies, including one from Waititi.

After having a blockbuster hit in Thor: Ragnarok, Waititi has become one of the most sought after talents in Hollywood. He’s set to return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe next to direct Thor: Love and Thunder, but he’ll stay in the Disney family after. Waititi joined Star Wars as a director on The Mandalorian in season one and was linked to developing a movie not too long after. Lucasfilm made the news of Waititi helming his own Star Wars movie official earlier this year, but details were slim.

It has only been a few months since Waititi’s Star Wars movie has been announced and many already want to know more. During a recent interview with BBC, Waititi provided a quick update on the status of his film and confirmed that the writing process has begun. After winning the Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar for Jojo Rabbit, Waititi has been working with 1917’s Krysty Wilson-Cairns on his untitled Star Wars movie.

Waititi’s update on his Star Wars film might not be that shocking, but it is still good to hear that the movie is making progress when it comes to the script. Unfortunately, the details of what kind of story Waititi is working on in this franchise isn’t known, and it will likely be a while before fans get to see it. Waititi’s work on Star Wars is not his priority at the moment, as he’s simultaneously finishing up the script for Thor: Love and Thunder before production begins. With the MCU film’s early 2022 release date, Waititi will be preoccupied with Marvel until then and can shift is focus to Star Wars after.

Since Waititi’s Star Wars movie is still a few years away, Lucasfilm could prioritize the development of some other films in the meantime. After all, Disney still has a December 2022 release date set for an unannounced Star Wars movie. If the studios still want a movie to come out in theaters at that point in time, then the good news is that they’ve got other ideas that could be ready by then. Rian Johnson is still working on his previously announced trilogy, and Marvel Studios’ Kevin Feige is producing an unspecified film too. There are also scripts reportedly in development from Sleight director J.D. Dillard and Avatar producer Laeta Kalogridis. So, even though Taika Waititi’s Star Wars movie is still in the early stages of writing, hopefully another movie is closer to having a finished script that is ready to be made.
