Damon Lindelof has managed to turn himself into one of the most prolific showrunners in television today, especially after working on the likes of
Lost,
The Leftovers, and
Watchmen.
Now, he's admitted that getting the opportunity to work in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is something that appeals to him more than ever before, and there's a good reason for that!
"I think that doing something in the Marvel universe, anywhere in the Marvel Universe, would be really potentially exciting for me, especially as they start to get a little bit more experimental," he explained while promoting
The Hunt.
"Some of the things that I’ve seen for WandaVision for example, just feel like, 'OK, now we’re getting somewhere.' Particularly in a television space."
Lindelof also confessed to wanting to take a crack at
Star Wars, but not until the dust has settled on the current era of stories (which his friend J.J. Abrams is coming under fire for).
"[At] some point, but certainly not in the immediate future, I feel like I would love to do something in the 'Star Wars' universe," the showrunner confessed.
"Maybe a decade from now when I would no longer be blamed for ruining it. That would be a hoot." Needless to say, Lindelof would no doubt do something very interesting - and controversial - with the beloved franchise!
After all, some of his big screen efforts as a writer -
Star Trek Into Darkness and
Prometheus, for example - have definitely been divisive, but
Star Wars could do with a fresh take.

Star Wars Universe?
