A new Star Wars trilogy is in the works from Lucasfilm and X-Men’s Simon Kinberg.

According to Deadline, the new films will reportedly take place after the most recent trilogy that concluded with The Rise of Skywalker in 2019. It will allegedly involve new characters and a new storyline, although the return of known names popping up has not been ruled out.

Kinberg will write and produce the films with a director yet to be attached. He has written a number of X-Men movies as well as The Martian, Deadpool and Cinderella. He also worked as a consultant on The Force Awakens in 2015.

Since The Rise of Skywalker, which received mixed to negative reviews and was the lowest-performing film of the trilogy at the box office, a number of projects have been announced and abandoned, including those from the Marvel chief Kevin Feige and Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins.

A new film following Daisy Ridley’s character Rey recently suffered a setback when writer Steven Knight, known for Peaky Blinders, departed the project. “I feel like the new one/new ones will be so interesting,” Ridley recently said to the Hollywood Reporter. “Time has passed and a lot has changed for me, personally, so it’ll be interesting to come back to someone who I know so well, but in such a different moment. For me to inhabit Rey again after all the time that we haven’t seen her, it’s actually scary, but it’s also exciting.”

The most recent Star Wars tales have been told on the small screen, including the recently cancelled series The Acolyte and Ahsoka. This December also sees the launch of Skeleton Crew, led by Jude Law.

In total, the Star Wars films have made more than $10bn at the global box office.
