According to a new report, Disney and Lucasfilm have lined up another movie to shoot at Pinewood Studios in the UK and the signs are all pointing to that being Boba Fett. X-Men: Dark Phoenix director Simon Kinberg is once again attached as a producer alongside Lawrence Kasdan and the working title of the project is reportedly "Tin Can" (a pretty obvious reference to the fan-favourite bounty hunter).
Back in 2012, it was reported that the plan was for Lucasfilm to develop a Boba Fett movie and it was the following year we learned Chronicle director Josh Trank had been hired to take the helm of that with Kinberg penning the screenplay. However, the former's behaviour on the set of Fox's Fantastic Four movie led to him being fired and we've only heard the odd mention of this project since then.
Nothing has obviously been confirmed as of yet and the studio is said to also be working on an Obi-Wan Kenobi movie, so who knows when this one will see the light of day. It's possible Lucasfilm is waiting to see how X-Men: Dark Phoenix does and that they'll then ask Kinberg to take the helm of this spinoff. Either way, the studio clearly has plans for Boba Fett and more will no doubt be revealed soon.
