    SWCE: Jon Watts Pitched ‘Skeleton Crew’ While Filming ‘Spider-Man: Far From Home’

    Here’s a rather surprising revelation. During the Star Wars Celebration event, we found out when the idea for Jon Watts‘s Star Wars project, Skeleton Crew, came together. While we initially expected that the first discussions happened while working on Spider-Man: No Way Home. Given that he was attached to direct Fantastic Four at the time and suddenly dropped out to tackle the Disney+ series.

    As it turns out, he initially pitched the idea while filming the previous Spider-Man film, Far From Home. It seems it took some time for the project to come together but the core idea of a group of kids going out on an adventure throughout the galaxy but getting more than what they may have bargained for. Those lucky to attend the event also got a first glimpse at the series with this behind-the-scenes shot.

    It looks like a first look has found its way online from the big Lucasfilm panel on the upcoming Jon Watts-led Disney+ series exploring the journey of a group of 10-year-olds that get lost in space. It’ll have the title Star Wars: Skeleton Crew and the only other confirmed hint is that it’ll take place around the same time as The Mandalorian. Jude Law is set to appear in the series, but his role remains a mystery for now.

    Check out the concept art as revealed by YouTuber Kristian Harloff from the panel. It doesn’t reveal anything major, but it does highlight the cast of four kids and the ship they end up getting stranded in.

    Sony Chairman Plans to Have Jon Watts Direct ‘Spider-Man 4’

    Jon Watts just recently surprised people with the decision to move away from the upcoming Fantastic Four project. Yet, we learned shortly after that he started work on a new project together with Lucasfilm, which will explore an Amblin-style entry in the Star Wars galaxy. Now that he just wrapped work on one of the biggest Spider-Man film releases of all time with No Way Home, it seems Sony Chairman isn’t ready to let him go quite yet. In an interview with Deadline, Tom Rothman confirmed that he hopes for Watts to return to the director’s chair for the fourth MCU Spider-Man entry.

    On one hand, many have hoped that a new creative team would take the reigns as Tom Holland‘s Spider-Man takes a more grounded approach. Now that he’s seemingly unshackled from the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, they can rewrite his future as part of the franchise. Yet, it seems that Sony wants to keep Watts heavily involved, as well as see the return of Zendaya as MJ.

    Now, that also raises the question of how big of a role she could have considering she is heading out to MIT and has completely forgotten who Peter Parker is. Of course, she may be visiting New York City, it is her home after all, and they bump into each other. She will only remember him as the stranger she met at the coffee shop. He’s not officially signed on and things may change as more get a chance to potentially pitch their take on the character.
