Fans of the Star Wars series experienced the surprise in 2020. But despite three years of silence on production, Waititi has finally released a promising update.
“Right now I’m still developing something with them,” he told Entertainment Tonight.
“Like me, they have a lot of projects going on. I think they’ll keep pushing it until I finish these other projects.’

He added: “I have about four more scripts that I’m trying to finish. “My thing is, I want to take my time with it and do it right. I don’t want to rush this movie.’
In 2020, news about the next installment of Star Wars was released via StarWars.com to celebrate May 4th, an unofficial holiday honoring the series.
The screenplay will be co-written by author Krysty Wilson-Cairns, who received an Oscar nomination for her work “1917” during the ceremony in January.

Although a release date has not yet been announced, Waititi is no stranger to the universe imagined by George Lucas.
The New Zealand talent directed the season finale of Disney+’s The Mandalorian and played the role of droid IG-11.
The director/writer/actor has already proven that he can handle a blockbuster with his work in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
“Thor: Ragnarok” grossed $854 million, making it the highest-earning film in the Thor trilogy.
Waititi’s latest project is Next Goal Wins, scheduled for release in January 2024.
“Next Goal Wins” is based on the true story of the American Samoa soccer team that lost 31-0 to Australia in a World Cup qualifier.
Set in 2014, the comedy follows the team’s attempt to qualify for that year’s FIFA World Cup after hiring a down-on-his-luck coach to change the fortunes of their heir.
Actor Will Arnett takes on the role of an executive at the American Samoa Football Association, replacing Armie Hammer in the role, while Michael Fassbender plays the role of coach.
