Looking over the lineup of upcoming Star Wars movies , one of the many projects in development comes from the mind of Shawn Levy , the filmmaker behind Free Guy , The Adam Project and Deadpool & Wolverine , the latest of the Marvel movies in order . Unlike 2026’s The Mandalorian & Grogu , Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy’s movie about Rey and James Mangold’s movie about the origins of the Jedi Order, we have no idea of what Levy has planned for his Star Wars movie . However, he has shared the big goal he’s come up with, and my fingers are crossed that Disney doesn’t mess with it.
While the majority of Levy’s recent interview on Happy Sad Confused understandably focused on Deadpool & Wolverine , the writer/director did spend some time towards the end talking with host Josh Horowitz to provide an update on what’s going on with his Star Wars movie. When asked what he loves about the franchise set in a galaxy far, far away, Levy started off by saying: I’ll say that the experience of crafting this story has forced me to think about that question. Because there’s only so many times that Star Wars movies can revisit the same section of the timeline.
...
Because I don’t want to do a Star Wars film that is redundant to others. Nor am I interested in doing one that has to serve another movie. I really wanted to craft something that felt organic to me both in tone and characters.
The Star Wars franchise has been around for nearly 50 years now, and along with the main film serie.
