We hear that it’s true — the Barbie superstar is in talks to join Shawn Levy’s Star Wars movie.
Levy and Jonathan Tropper have been working on their Star Wars movie for two years. There is an untitled Star Wars movie on the release calendar for December 17, 2027. The next Star Wars movie is The Mandalorian and Grogu scheduled for May 22, 2026. Tropper co-wrote the Levy movies The Adam Project and This Is Where I Leave You.
Levy is a must-have, must-keep director for Disney: he delivered them the highest grossing R-rated movie of all-time with Marvel Studios’ Deadpool & Wolverine which grossed $1.33 billion worldwide.
While details are under wraps for the latest Lucasfilm movie, it is reportedly not connected to the Luke Skywalker core canon of Episodes I-IX, and will be a standalone movie. The new hope out there is that it goes into production this fall. Duly note, there is a Star Wars Celebration this year in Tokyo, so expect more details.
