Nonetheless, for Kennedy, the longer term now has a number of large dangerous initiatives within the pipeline to convey a few new imaginative and prescient of what Star Wars may very well be. One of many first elements of that imaginative and prescient is Levy’s film, and the Lucasfilm president believes that the Deadpool & Wolverine helmer is “one of many good administrators” to maneuver the saga into new territory. She informed ScreenRant:
“He has that fantastic humorousness [and] enjoyable, [and he] loves Star Wars. He is been dying to do that perpetually. I talked to him, as he talked about, in 2022, however I [actually] talked to him even earlier than that. He had gotten into Stranger Issues, and that success took him off the marketplace for some time. [But] he is been serious about this story for fairly a while and eager to do one thing within the Star Wars universe, I believe, his complete life.”
