Jon Kasdan, who co-wrote Solo: A Star Wars Story with his father Lawrence, has said that a sequel would be a “tough sell”.
Development on a potential sequel has been noticeably quiet in the years since, with fans of the film urging streaming platform Disney+ to greenlight a follow-up or a series inspired by the movie.
@JonKasdan you got any updates on a Solo sequel or are you completely locked in with Indy 5?

“Don’t think anyone’s pursuing a Solo sequel at the moment,” he wrote to a fan on Twitter. “I think a feature, at this point, would be a tough sell.”
He also suggested that the slate of forthcoming Star Wars projects in development for Disney+ might be too busy for a Solo sequel to get a look-in.
“The D+ Star Wars slate is really… pretty packed, all shows I’m lookin forward to,” he added.
Kasdan then elaborated further in a second tweet, explaining: “[A Solo TV series is] hard to advocate for & here’s why: with multiple SW series in development/production, set at different points in the timeline.
“Without knowing what stories they’re telling (& I don’t) hard to know what a Solo series would even be with so much on the way.”
