Zhao Ting may direct new version of "Star Wars" movie produced by Marvel CEO

It was previously rumored that "Zhao Ting might direct the new "Star Wars" movie project developed by Kevin Feige" and it was almost a foregone conclusion. Some foreign media said that they heard from some channels that Zhao Ting had signed the contract, while other sources said that the agreement was very close to being reached. But in any case, Zhao Ting has always been Kevin Feige's first choice director (on this Star Wars project), and it is only a matter of time before the contract is finalized.

Since the news broke in September 2019 that Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige would develop a "Star Wars" work for Lucasfilm, there have been almost no follow-up reports. Some information sites even doubted the authenticity of the news. It was not until January this year that Deadline said that Michael Waldron, who wrote "Doctor Strange 2", "Loki", "Rick and Morty" and other works, had begun to write stories for this project, which made the public see some progress.

At present, the specific development progress of "Feige's Star Wars" remains a mystery, but if the news that "Zhao Ting confirmed to direct" is true, then it should be considered that the project is still on the right track. At the same time, Patty Jenkins' "Rogue Squadron" was said to be delayed, and another rumor this morning said that Lucasfilm will invest in a "Peak Republic" movie. Perhaps these three rumors point to the same possibility: Zhao Ting will direct a "Gao Communist" movie and fill the schedule of "Rogue Squadron".
