As of right now, the future of the Star Wars franchise on the big screen is somewhat unclear as no one really knows where things will go next once The Rise of Skywalker arrives in theaters next month.

Disney appears to be equally unsure for the time being, but one thing we do know is that the man responsible for the Marvel Cinematic Universe's success, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, is developing a movie for Lucasfilm. Now, the head of that studio - Kathleen Kennedy - has shed some light on how Feige became involved with yet another massive franchise.

"Kevin has been a huge fan of Star Wars, and he’s made that pretty clear," she tells Rolling Stone. "[When] he went off to do a couple of the Spider-Man movies, he realized that he could kind of step in and out of what he’s doing specifically with just Marvel. He talked to us, and he talked to the studio and said, ‘Is there any chance I could step in and do one of the Star Wars movies?'"

"And I thought it was a pretty cool idea," Kennedy added, before making it clear that this movie is still in the very early stages of development at Lucasfilm. "So we’re just beginning to talk about what that might be and when that might be. But it’s a ways off."

Needless to say, it's going to be very interesting to see what Feige brings to the table and the level of creative control he's given based on the huge number of hits he's developed at Marvel Studios.

We're getting a high budget Moon Knight show and a Blade movie to start off

Hopefully it ends in a Midnight Sons Movie
