We have already learned that a screenwriter and director have been hired for the project . The latest rumors about the release date have their source in the recent The Hot Mic podcast. It will probably be December 19, 2025. Interestingly, Lindelof’s star war film, unlike other productions in the making, has not yet been officially announced. Things are different, for example, with projects by Waititi, Patty Jenkins or Kevin Feige.
I think it will happen. Indeed, I think there is a release date! I say, ‘Wait, I have to be careful what I am allowed to say!’ I think it will come out in December 2025 … I’ve been saying this since I announced it. So I was researching this story in March […] I didn’t realize if this guy was going to be writing the script or running the screenwriting room. I knew he was working on something there. […] Ultimately [Justin Britt-Gibson] will be writing with Damon, and yes, they have a director from Ms. Marvel [Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy]. I think this is an interesting package. I believe we will see this in Christmas 2025.
Back in the days of Disney’s Star Wars, fans were divided by conflicting feelings about the franchise’s future. The studio has already announced new projects in the past that were eventually postponed or simply canceled. An example is Waititi’s film, which we heard about for the first time in 2020. Speculation about the New Zealand director’s Star Wars continues, and recently Lindelof’s film has also appeared in the fans’ languages. According to Jeff Sneider, Damon’s project may appear even earlier than the much-discussed Star Wars Taiki.
This is the date [Taika Waititi] currently holds. Star Wars Taiki is December 19, 2025, but I think fans can read between the lines in what’s reported to us … Yeah, I don’t know if it will really come to that. So I think this Damon movie will take that date. “
