Steven Soderbergh's *Star Wars* Film with Adam Driver Scrapped
Steven Soderbergh's script for a proposed Star Wars film was recently rejected by Lucasfilm and Disney executives. The next Star Wars film, The Mandalorian and Grogu, is set for release on May 22, 2026, starring Pedro Pascal.
Adam Driver, known for his role as Ben Solo/Kylo Ren, had pitched a Star Wars spinoff that would continue the story from The Rise of Skywalker. Unfortunately, the film titled The Hunt for Ben Solo was not approved. Driver expressed regret that fans won't get to see the film, stating that his character's story was left unfinished.
Details about the canceled film's script are scarce, but it is known that Steven Soderbergh was involved. Another upcoming Star Wars film, Star Wars: Starfighter, is in production, starring Ryan Gosling, with a release date of May 28, 2027.
While the proposed Star Wars film involving Adam Driver and Steven Soderbergh has been shelved, fans can look forward to The Mandalorian and Grogu in 2026 and Star Wars: Starfighter in 2027. The future of the Star Wars franchise continues to unfold.
