New films in the Star Wars series from Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige and Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins appear to have been permanently shelved, with another project from actor-director Taika Waititi now looking more likely, according to a report in Variety.

Jenkins’ project, known as Rogue Squadron, was first announced by Disney in December 2020 as a standalone film about “a new generation of starfighter pilots … in a boundary-pushing, high-speed thrill-ride”; it was intended for release in 2023 but has since encountered a series of delays. In November 2021, it was reported that production was delayed due to Jenkins’ commitments elsewhere, and removed from Disney’s release schedule in September 2022.
