Taika Waititi Says His Star Wars Movie Is 'on Ice'

Director Taika Waititi has confirmed his long-in-development Star Wars movie is officially "on ice."

The Thor: Ragnarok and Jojo Rabbit filmmaker provided Inverse with the update when speaking to the outlet during a press junket for his new film, Klara and the Sun. When asked directly for the state of his and writer Tony McNamara's progress in the Star Wars universe, Waititi had a blunt answer.

"I hate to break this to you, but we're going to actually put it on ice and we're working on a different thing together," he said.

Brutal. Rumors that Disney and Lucasfilm had approached the What We Do in the Shadows filmmaker to helm a Star Wars project go as far back as January 2020. That's just a few years after he took off as the mastermind behind one of the most beloved Marvel Cinematic Universe movies to date, with an official announcement confirming he was attached to a movie arriving just a few months later.

It was mostly good news at first. In 2021, Waititi said he had finished his Star Wars movie's story, and in 2022, then-Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy said the goal was to bring it to theaters in late 2023. At the time, she also admitted that Disney hadn't "locked anything in" quite yet, a fact that only became more apparent in the years that followed.

Waititi was said to be "still working away" on the project on the third anniversary of its announcement in April 2023.
