DUBAI: Oscar-winning Pakistani Canadian filmmaker Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, who last directed episodes for Disney+ series “Ms Marvel,” has been tapped to direct a mystery-shrouded “Star Wars” movie, Deadline has confirmed.
Producer and screenwriter Damon Lindelof is developing and co-writing the script, although it is unknown at this time who his writing partner might be.
As for what the film is focused on, that is under wraps as the project remains cloaked in secrecy.
The last “Star Wars” film to hit theaters was 2019’s “Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker.” Disney has since focused on TV projects for the franchise, including “The Mandalorian,” “The Book of Boba Fett,” “Obi-Wan Kenobi,” the on-going “Andor” and the upcoming “Ahsoka.”
