Former "Doctor Strange" director: If I were to direct a "Star Wars" series, I'd like to make an R-rated thriller

Scott Derrickson, the former director of "Doctor Strange", was forced to leave the team because of his different creative orientations from Marvel. At that time, he bluntly stated that the movies he wanted to make were more dark and thriller-oriented, or even R-rated, which was obviously not what Marvel, which was targeting the mainstream market, needed.

Yesterday, someone asked Scott a very interesting question: If he had the opportunity to direct "Star Wars", what kind of interstellar epic would he want to make? In response, Scott said on Twitter that he still hasn't given up on his pursuit of R-rated thrillers. If he is lucky enough to direct "Star Wars", he will definitely make an R-rated horror film set on the ice planet Hoth, paying homage to "The Thing" in style, and will not involve the characters in the previous film in the story.

Because his words attracted considerable attention in the film industry, Scott had to issue a statement to clarify that this was just a hypothetical answer to someone else's question and that there was no implication. And under the current Disney layout, such a hypothesis can be said to be 100% impossible to happen.

For fans, after the hasty conclusion of the new trilogy of the Star Wars saga, it is still very fresh to see a Star Wars-themed R-rated film with a completely different taste and no involvement of the characters in the previous stories. Scott, who is famous for horror films such as The Day the Earth Stood Still and Sinister, is indeed a good choice for director.
