Disney has removed an untitled “Star Wars” film previously scheduled for Dec. 18, 2026 from its release calendar. “Ice Age 6” will move into its spot.
While it was never confirmed exactly what this project would be, Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy was previously announced as the director of an upcoming “Star Wars” film following Daisy Ridley‘s Rey after the events of 2019’s “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.” The film lost screenwriter Steven Knight earlier this year (after Damon Lindelof and Justin Britt-Gibson previously departed the project). Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy said at last year’s Star Wars Celebration that Ridley’s new film would follow Rey as she builds a new Jedi Order.
It wouldn’t be the first time a potential entry in the beloved space opera franchise ended before it began: new installments from director Patty Jenkins, Marvel producer Kevin Feige, “The Last Jedi” director Rian Johnson and “Game of Thrones” creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss have been announced over the years, but none ever came to fruition.
