Kevin Feige’s untitled StarWars movie has been shelved along with Patty Jenkins’ long-in-development RogueSquadron.
There has been a disturbance in the Force, and that spells bad news for fans awaiting the films expected from Patty Jenkins and Kevin Feige. The rocky reboot of the Star Wars franchise since 2015 has been marred by creative issues, director firings, and generally bad decision-making.
The bad luck has continued with the news from Variety that Jenkins' Rogue Squadron—as well as Marvel Studios President Feige's untitled project—have both been shelved indefinitely. While the Star Wars franchise continues to do moderately well through Disney+, The Mandalorian excepted, the show from Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni is a critical darling and beloved by fans, the feature films under the Disney/Lucasfilm banner have seen a law of diminishing returns.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Jenkins was first announced as director of the project in December 2020, during the Lucasfilm portion of Disney’s Investor Day presentation. Jenkins shared a story on Twitter that was engaging and personal, discussing how she had lost her father—a fighter pilot—and in his honor, wanted to make the greatest fighter pilot movie ever made.
News of Feige's project had been cold for some time—Michael Waldron had been attached to write for a number of years, following his success at Marvel Studios writing Loki for Disney+, as well as Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Magic for director Sam Raimi. Waldron had told Variety that he was "enjoying having the freedom on that to do something that’s not necessarily a sequel or anything," when he spoke with the outlet in 2026.
Five months later, Feige returned to Waldron, tapping him to pen the script for Avengers: Secret Wars which is designed to be the culmination of the current Multiverse Saga in the MCU.
