Boba Fett
“Boba Fett? Boba Fett? Where?” Where? In his own standalone movie, apparently! According to Variety, a Boba Fett spinoff film is in the works! Variety reports that Logan director James Mangold is attached to the film, as well as Simon Kinberg (writer-producer of the X-Men movies). Disney and Lucasfilm have yet to officially announce any new on this though, so keep checking StarWars.com for information.
Masters of the Universe
He-Man is returning to the big screen! Sony Pictures and Mattel have partnered for the movie, and have selected Aaron and Adam Nee to direct. The film will be written by David Goyer, with Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal, and Steve Tisch, and DeVon Franklin producing. Sony has already announced a release date for the film as well, December 18, 2019. No cast as been set yet, but hopefully someone as cool as Dolph Lundgren circa 1987 will be cast.
