According to sources at Deadline, Michael Waldron has been selected to undertake writing duties for the currently-untitled Star Wars film that is being developed by Kevin Feige.
After penning Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness and serving as head writer and creator on the upcoming Disney Plus series Loki, Michael Waldron is looking to stay in business with Walt Disney Studios in a big way. Sources tell Deadline Waldron has been set to write a new Star Wars feature film that Kevin Feige, President, Marvel Studios and Chief Creative Officer, Marvel, will develop and produce for Lucasfilm and Disney. This is part of an unprecedented overall deal Waldron has signed with the studios that Disney has rarely given in recent years.
Lucasfilm announced a number of new Star Wars projects last month during the Disney Investor Day 2020 webcast, but specific details on the film being developed/produced by Feige were not revealed as part of their presentation.
