Loki head writer Michael Waldron has talked about his approach to Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige’s upcoming Star Wars film.
“I think the success of the MCU is, for all the amazing science-fiction and concepts and all that stuff; ultimately the success is built upon the characters, their humanity, their very relatable conflicts, friendships, and the family that is the MCU,” Waldron told GQ. “And I think Star Wars, at its best, is a story about family. Han, Luke, and Leia were a family; you love seeing them together, and you hated it when they were split apart. It’s great characters. That’s nothing new. I am not going to blow anybody’s mind with that headline – but that’s my biggest takeaway.”
Waldron also commented that “it’s very early days on [Star Wars]. That’s probably the thing I can say least about, unfortunately.”
Considering Waldron joined the MCU with Loki, but has already penned Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and will be writing Feige’s Star Wars film, it’s clear Feige has a lot of faith in Waldron. We can expect great things to come, then.
The first episode of Loki is available exclusively on Disney+ now.
