Disney to Develop Boba Fett-Centered STAR WARS Film from LOGAN Director James Mangold

According to Variety, Boba Fett is getting his own spinoff.

Disney is developing a "Star Wars" standalone movie centered on the bounty hunter Boba Fett from "Logan" director James Mangold, Variety has learned from several sources.

The untitled movie will be a part of the studio's Star Wars Anthology films, which are being spun off as origin stories. The first anthology film was 2016's "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story," followed by "Solo: A Star Wars Story," starring Alden Ehrenreich as a young Han Solo. "Solo" began opening in previews on Thursday night in North America, with forecasts of an debut weekend of $130 million to $150 million.

Boba Fett debuted in 1980's "Star Wars: The EMPIRE Strikes Back" and re-appeared in 1983's "Star Wars: Return of the Jedi" as a mercenary for the Galactic Empire. Jeremy Bulloch played the character in the two movies and Jason Wingreen provided Fett's voice.

Mangold directed and co-wrote "Logan," which Kinberg produced, last year. The "X-Men" standalone movie received an Oscar nomination for best adapted screenplay. Mangold's other directing credits include "Walk the Line," "Knight and Day," and the Western "3:10 to Yuma." He is in pre-production on an untitled Ford vs Ferrari drama for FOX starring Matt Damon and Christian Bale.
