Loki creator and showrunner Michael Waldron has reportedly been hired to write Kevin Feige's Star Wars movie. This is the first bit of news we've had on the project since its official announcement in September 2019. As the president at Marvel Studios and chief creative officer of Marvel Entertainment, Feige has overseen the Marvel Cinematic Universe from the start as a permanent producer. Feige will also produce his Star Wars film idea, alongside Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy. Nothing else is known about Feige's Star Wars movie at the moment.

Waldron's hiring reveals that Feige's Star Wars movie is still alive and kicking. It wasn't mentioned by Disney at all during its big December presentation, where it Star Wars: The Last Jedi writer-director Rian Johnson's trilogy was also ignored. With Rogue Squadron slated to open December 2023, the earliest Feige's Star Wars movie could arrive looks to be December 2025.
