“#New Star Wars Series for Disney+ Could Bring in Jon Watts to Direct”
Spider-Man: No Way Home helmer Jon Watts is rumored to be in talks to direct some episodes of a coming-of-age Star Wars series for Disney+.
The unannounced series is going under the working title of Grammar Rodeo with production set to begin this Summer in Los Angeles. However, at this time there are no leads as to whom will be writing this new project. Yet once can assume that Jon Favreau will be executive producing. Favreau, of course, is an executive producer and writer on The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett, and will soon be additionally credited as an executive producer on Ahsoka, which is at the moment in pre-production for a filming start within the next couple of months.
Jon Watts Is a Major Player in Hollywood After Spider-Man: No Way Home’s Smash Success
Following the major success of Spider-Man: No Way Home, which has c earned over $1.8 billion at the worldwide box office, Jon Watts has 3 large projects ahead of him. For starters ge will be directing The Fantastic Four for Marvel Studios. He is also producing Final Destination 6 for New Line and HBO Max, and writing/directing a new thriller for Apple TV+ which is set to star George Clooney and Brad Pitt. Clooney and Pitt are set to play two lone wolf fixers who are assigned to the same job. Needless to say this is a busy man in Hollywood these days. Sources tell us that talks with Jon Watts on directing at least one episode of this new Star Wars series are dependent on his busy schedule, but it looks like it’s going to happen.
As of now it is still unknown when Jon Watt’s Apple TV+ project will begin production and if it would cause scheduling issues with his ability to take on directing of any episode of a Star Wars series. Watts is no stranger to the television, he recently shot the pilot of The Old Man for FX, starring Jeff Bridges in his first television role in over five decades. The Old Man follows a former CIA officer who is living off the grid and finds himself on the run from those hunting him down. The Old Man will premiere later this year. Hopefully Watts can find some time in between projects and keep this relationship going with Disney. If his vision for Star Wars is anything like it was for Spider-Man: No Way Home, we should be in for something special.
Fans can still watch Spider-Man: No Way Home which continues its run in movie theaters, racking up more and more profits after already smashing so many box office records. Wherever Jon Watts lands next, it is certain that many fans will be checking it out.
