Wonder Woman and Wonder Woman 1984 filmmaker Patty Jenkins is set to become the first female feature-length Star Wars movie director. Jenkins has confirmed that she will take charge of a new film titled Rogue Squadron, a movie that will revolve around the legendary X-wing fighter pilots from the previous movies.
Rogue Squadron will be the next feature-length Star Wars movie to debut in cinemas with Disney and Lucasfilm currently looking at a Christmas Day 2023 release. Here’s the announcement that Jenkins made on Twitter late Thursday.
