Here's one more reason to look forward to getting back to the movie theater: Oscar winner Taika Waititi has been tapped to direct and co-write a new "Star Wars" film.
Disney announced on Monday, May 4, that Waititi, who won the Academy Award for best screenplay for "Jojo Rabbit" and helmed the first season finale of Disney+'s popular "The Mandalorian" series, will write the upcoming movie with Krysty Wilson-Cairns ("1917").
Rumors that Waititi, who also voiced an assassin droid/robotic protector for Baby Yoda (The Child) in "Mandalorian," planned his own "Star Wars" film have been bubbling for several months. In a February interview with Variety, the "Thor: Ragnarok" director said he would love to helm an adventure in the galaxy far, far away "if it was right. I would want to do any kind of movie if it made sense, and if it felt not like career suicide."
