Jenkins told host Ben Mankiewicz on the TCM/Max podcast, Talking Pictures, that she had signed a new deal with Lucasfilm and Disney to return to work as the writer and director.
TEXT:
Jenkins wanted to create Rogue Squadron to fulfill her ambition of making the ultimate fighter pilot movie, a dream inspired by her late father, Capt. William T. Jenkins, a U.S. Air Force pilot who served during the Vietnam War. Jenkins aimed to combine her love for high-speed thrill and the expansive universe of Star Wars to honor her father's memory and her fascination with aerial combat, striving to create a movie that captures the essence of both. However, she left the project to make Wonder Woman 3, before subsequently losing that project in the wake of the DC Studios takeover by James Gunn and Peter Safran. Now, she says, she's back in the cockpit after last commenting on the project 15 months ago.
"So, when I left Star Wars to do Wonder Woman 3 , I thought maybe I'll come back to Star Wars after Wonder Woman 3 . So we did a deal for that to happen, started a deal, but I thought I was doing Wonder Woman. When that went away, Lucasfilm and I were like, oh, we gotta finish this deal. We finished the deal right as the strike was happening. So I now owe a draft of Star Wars and so we will see what happens there. You know, like, who knows?
And so we will see what happens there. You know, like, who knows? It's hard, they have a hard job in front of them of what's the first movie they're gonna do. They have other directors who have been working, but I am now, you know, I'm back on doing Rogue Squadron and we'll see what happens. We need to develop, you know, get it to where we're both super happy with it.
