[2023 update: James Mangold in his own words about his shelved 2018 Boba Fett film<\/a>, contrary to his initial partial denial via Twitter in 2018.]<\/strong><\/p>\n

[Update: Simon Kinberg details added.]<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lucasfilm has yet to confirm, but The Hollywood Reporter today claims the rumored Boba Fett film is happening — with James Mangold, the filmmaker behind “Logan,” at the helm.<\/p>\n

James Mangold is writing and will direct a Star Wars standalone movie centered on Boba Fett, the feared bounty hunter and fan favorite character, The Hollywood Reporter has exclusively learned.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

THR updated the article three hours after publication to add that “sources are saying Simon Kinberg will co-write and produce the Boba Fett film.” Kinberg has been very closely associated for years to the project, which we think is great — he’s a great writer and producer.<\/p>\n

See more on their article.<\/a><\/p>\n

This is not the first time that a publication has jumped-the-gun with news of the still-unconfirmed film since rumors first began in 2013. It’s only<\/strong> official when we see it on StarWars.com or in a quote attributed to a Lucasfilm representative.<\/p>\n

UPDATE: On July 7, 2018, James Mangold debunked this rumor on Twitter<\/a>:<\/p>\n
