Disney picks X-Men producer to create next chapter in Star Wars universe

Disneyʼs space-opera franchise gets ready for its next big-screen adventure. Simon Kinberg‚ known for X-Men movies and Star Wars Rebels show will write a brand-new trilogy thats not connected to previous films

The mega-successful franchise (which made over $5-billion since its start almost 50 years ago) hasnt been in movie theaters since The Rise of Skywalker hit screens about 5 years ago. Kathleen Kennedy‚ Lucasfilmʼs president‚ will team-up with Kinberg to produce these upcoming films; together theyʼll explore stories far from the well-known Skywalker family saga

Before this new trilogy reaches audiences‚ fans can look forward to “The Mandalorian and Grogu“ - a spin-off movie based on the much-loved streaming series. This space-western adventure is set to land in theaters around spring 2026: marking Disneyʼs first Star Wars theatrical release in almost 7 years

The sci-fi franchise that George Lucas created continues to grow beyond its original boundaries. With experienced producers at the helm and fresh storytelling approach‚ this new chapter aims to expand the universe that first captured viewers imaginations back in the late 70s
