Taika Waititi Approached For New ‘Star Wars’ Movie – Deadline

Disney we hear is looking to keep the three-time Oscar nominated filmmaker and helmer of Thor Ragnarok in the family. We’ve confirmed that the two-time Oscar nominee of Disney sister Searchlight’s Jojo Rabbit has been approached about a Star Wars movie, however, it’s not clear yet if it’s a feature for Disney+ or the big screen. Early talks isn’t even the word yet here. Taika Waititi directed the final episode of season 1’s Star Wars: The Mandalorian, so he’s already put his fingerprints on the storied sci-fi franchise. He also voiced the bounty hunter IG-11 for the Disney+ streaming series.

Taiki the gawd

 

[I AM WARHOL]

I'm good.

 

[KevCo]

Im all in for more star wars i think they should contact James Wan, esp after Aquaman

 

[FromStLouis]

Let it die. Another space epic/saga will come along to take its place.

Can we use this thread for when he "leaves" the project over creative differences?

 

[Shaman]

So they fired Lord & Miller because they tried to bring a comedic tone to a Star Wars movie, but they're okay with Taika?

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

If he can keep the comedy down to the very bare minimum then cool but if not

Dave Filoni should be deeply involved with creatively with all Star Wars live action and animated productions since Disney bushed Lucas.

 

[Peter Popoff]

In Fiege, Filoni and Favreau I trust. They have an inner circle backing Waikiki.

 

[Ziggiy]

I actually think he’d do a great job.

They need to approach Coogler
