Disney has revealed that the next Star Wars film to be released after the Skywalker Saga concludes will be from Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss.
Talking on an investor call earlier today, Disney CEO Bob Iger revealed that the next film will be the mystery project written Benioff and Weiss. It will release in 2022, meaning a three year gap for the series that has seen annual releases since 2015’s The Force Awakens.
“We’re hard at work already,” Igor said
“But we felt three years was the proper amount of time to not only take a breather and reset, but to gear up for the next film’s release.”
From the launch of the new film, the schedule will be a pre-Christmas weekend release every other year, putting the first three releases at December 2022, 2024, and 2026. It is unclear if Disney will alternate between two concurrent Star Wars projects as they have with the current trilogy, or if all three of the upcoming films are part of a single story.
