The Star Wars film from Thor: Ragnarok director Taika Waititi is expected to be released towards the end of 2023.
In an interview with Total Film, LucasFilm president Kathleen Kennedy was asked if the Waititi project will be the next Star Wars film released (it will) and if that will be next year.
"Yeah. Well, not 2023, but late 2023," Kennedy said, adding that "we haven't locked anything in".
This is the first new piece of information LucasFilm has given on the Waititi project since it was announced in May 2020, though Waititi was reportedly approached to work on the film in January of that year.
Despite not giving an exact date to appear in cinemas, Kennedy revealing a late 2023 release window is a relatively 'detailed' answer compared to how little we know about the rest of the film.
The movie is still lacking an official title, plot synopsis, or position in the overarching Star Wars universe, though Waititi did say last August that he has a story locked in that matches his signature style.
While last weekend's Star Wars Celebration was a little lacking in film news, we did learn a lot about the new Andor Disney+ series, Jedi: Survivor video game, and confirmation that The Mandalorian Season 3 is coming next year.
