SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY Writer Says A Sequel Series Is Not In The Works For Disney+

Despite strong support for a Solo sequel on social media (#MakeSolo2Happen), one of the movie's writers has now seemingly dismissed the notion of a follow-up coming to Disney+ in the near future...

After behind the scenes issues which led to a change in directors, Solo: A Star Wars Story was surrounded by negativity and a last-minute marketing campaign that ultimately did the movie no favours. Proof of that came after it earned only $392.9 million worldwide on an insanely high budget of $275 million (which was hugely inflated after extensive reshoots were necessary). 

Many Star Wars fans loved the film, though, hence why there's a popular movement online which has been dubbed #MakeSolo2Happen. 

While a sequel hitting theaters is massively unlikely, there are those who believe Lucasfilm should continue Han Solo's story on Disney+. The movie ended with a huge cliffhanger following that surprise appearance from Darth Maul, and it was clear that there were more stories to be told with characters like Han, Chewie, Lando, and Qi'ra. 

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like anything remotely close to a follow-up is happening, as Solo writer Jon Kasdan has taken to Twitter to say he's heard nothing about Lucasfilm wanting the franchise to continue.

Needless to say, this is going to disappoint fans, so we'll just have to hope things change moving forward...

Not even a Lando spin-off series with Glover and Waller-Bridge?

This was the one thing I actually want to see continued (unlike a Rogue One prequel or anything sequel trilogy related). I think a Disney+ series will really help in this case. Just take a new character (maybe a Crymorah Syndicate member, as we've seen very little of this fifth syndicate) and use him/her as our pov character is a story that wraps all the criminal business with Solo, Lando, Maul and whoever involved up in one neat story

A shame considering the cast was so talented. You could've really done something interesting with them in sequels, and a D+ show has the flexibility to tell different types of stories

@BillCipher - the one good thing is Everyone is ALIVE during this time period you could have everyone show up.

Anyone from Rogue One or the Original Trilogy or Rebels or Maz from Sequels

Shoot...even might have had first live action appearances by Prince Xizor or Thrawn.

This will seem very odd to some, but I'm a very abnormal person because (in part) I never liked the Han Solo character more than most of the characters, but I "did" like the "Solo" film more than most of the other Star Wars films.

But, then, finding out that my favorite films in franchises are many times the ones most disliked is not rare.

For examples,
My favorite (and I've seen all of the films in the franchises):

Terminator film? "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines"
Alien film? "Alien vs. Predator"
Predator film? "Alien vs. Predator"
DCEU film? "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice"

However, I'm not so abnormal on the following:

My favorite:
Indiana Jones film? "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade"
Die Hard film? "Die Hard"
Lord of the Rings film? "Return of the King"
Dark Knight Triology film? "The Dark Knight"
Star Trek film? "The Wrath of Khan"
James Bond (Sean Connery) film? "Diamonds Are Forever" or "Goldfinger"
James Bond (Roger Moore) films? "The Spy Who Loved Me"
James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) films? "Goldeneye"
James Bond (Daniel Craig) films? "Casino Royale" or "Skyfall"
X-Men film? "X2: X-Men United" or "X-Men: Days of Future Past"
Spider-Man (Tobey Maguire) film? "Spider-Man 2"
Spider-Man (Tom Holland) film? "Spider-Man: Far From Home"
The Twilight Saga films? I'm joking. I haven't seen any of them.

@LSHF - I couldn't agree more on Alien vs. Predator (and Solo). For some reason that movie had everything I ever wanted in an action movie. Just a kick ass Predator in an underground Egyption type temple thing slaying Aliens...fully on board! I wanted an Predator movie where they go to his planet...stop putting it on earth or earth like planets. Lets get extraterrestrial!

This movie was a colossal, embarrassing bomb at the box office. No shit.

@tmp3 - But was still more enjoyable than any of the new episodes.

I was pretty skeptical of Solo to begin with but was pleasantly surprised. It's at a smaller scale but still love the cast, and thought it was a pretty fun heist movie. I agree with everyone that I would like to see this cast in some of the other spin offs. More Darth Maul content is a must. I liked him in Rebels, but he's still massively underdeveloped.

I wonder if they would be up for some kind of animated sequel series then?

I'm thinking some of these characters will return in other projects. Like in the Obi Wan series and when disney inevitably remakes the Skywalker saga. They will. Mark my words.
