New Star Wars film trilogy in the works at Disney
A new Star Wars film trilogy written by X-Men producer Simon Kinberg is in the early stages of development at Walt Disney Co.
A source familiar with the matter said on Thursday that a new Star Wars film trilogy written by X-Men producer Simon Kinberg is in the early stages of development at Walt Disney Co (DIS.N).
Kinberg, who co-created the animated series Star Wars Rebels, also will produce the movies alongside Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy.
Disney has not released a Star Wars film in theatres since 2019’s The Rise of Skywalker.
The source said the new trilogy will begin with a fresh story and is not related to the Skywalker saga. No other details on the plot or the timeline were provided.
Star Wars, created by George Lucas, is one of the most successful film franchises ever. The movies have collected more than $5 billion in global ticket sales since the release of the first instalment in 1977.
Disney has several Star Wars projects in the works. “The Mandalorian and Grogu,” based on the Disney+ series about a helmeted warrior and his companion, is scheduled to reach theatres in May 2026.
