It seems that Marvel Studios chief-in-action, Kevin Feige, is making a jump to a galaxy far, far away.
THR is reporting that Feige is adding to his already very busy duties in the Marvel Cinematic Universe by producing a new film under the Star Wars banner with Kathleen Kennedy.
Walt Disney Studios co-chairman and CCO Alan Horn confirmed the report and shared the following statement:
“We are excited about the projects Kathy and the Lucasfilm team are working on, not only in terms of Star Wars but also Indiana Jones and reaching into other parts of the company including Children of Blood and Bone with Emma Watts and Fox. With the close of the Skywalker Saga, Kathy is pursuing a new era in Star Wars storytelling, and knowing what a die-hard fan Kevin is, it made sense for these two extraordinary producers to work on a Star Wars film together.“
Feige has made no secret of the fact he is a fan of the franchise so this was undoubtedly an offer which he couldn’t refuse.
At this stage we have no details on the project itself but keep your eyes peeled for more news as it happens.
