is the next star wars movie in production
Star Wars: The Last Jedi Episode IX, the final installment of the sequel trilogy, is scheduled for release on December 20, 2019.[11] Principal photography is set to begin in June 2018.[169] Although Colin Trevorrow had been attached to direct the film, on September 5, 2017, Lucasfilm announced that Trevorrow had stepped down.[170] A week later, Lucasfilm announced that J. J. Abrams would return to direct Episode IX and co-write it with Chris Terrio. Abrams and Terrio stated that Episode IX will bring together all three trilogies, with elements from the previous two trilogies.[171][172]
General Grievous The character was introduced in 2004 in the animated series Star Wars: Clone Wars, before making his live-action debut in the 2005 film Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith.
Production of Avengers: Infinity War and the untitled Avengers sequel Joe Russo stated in July 2017 that there were a couple of unfinished scenes for Infinity War that would be shot "in the next few months".[167] The first trailer for the film revealed the inclusion of the alien species Outriders, from the storyline Infinity.[168] In early March, Disney moved the release of Infinity War in the United States to April 27, 2018, to have it release the same weekend as some of its international markets.[169][170] While Infinity War features one post-credits scene, as with previous MCU films, the Russos considered not including one. Anthony noted that part of the reason for considering this "was because we knew the ending was a complicated ending, a difficult ending, and we wanted that ending to be very definitive. We didn't want to complicate it with other ideas." He felt the tag used, which shows Nick Fury signaling for Captain Marvel before fading away, put "a small button [on the ending] but that's it".[171]
Paul Walker With Furious 7 in the middle of filming at the time of Walker's death, Universal announced an indeterminate hiatus on the production, citing a desire to speak with his family before determining what to do with the film.[53]
