After Deadpool & Wolverine, Shawn Levy will launch into the world of Star Wars with a new film which will be “autonomous”, namely that it will not be part of the Skywalker saga. If we don’t have a lot of information about the scenario, a popular actor will join the project.

Star Wars, an ever-expanding universe

The universe of Star Wars will grow again. The franchise has grown through several series such as The Acolyte, Obi-Wan Kenobi or Ahsoka et The Book of Boba Fett. Last December, Lucasfilm finished filming the film The Mandalorian & Grogu which is directed by Jon Favreau and which is expected in theaters on May 22, 2026. At the same time, a film project with the return of Daisy Ridley as Rey is in preparation. For now, we know that the events should take place 15 years later L’Ascension de Skywalker and the young woman will have to rebuild the Jedi order. But the development seems a bit archaic. James Mangold, for his part, is responsible for telling the story of the first Jedi 25,000 years ago with the movie Star Wars : Dawn of the Jedi. Finally, Simon Kinberg works on writing and the production of a new trilogy but it is impossible to know if these will be new episodes that are part of the Skywalker saga.
