Edgar Wright was one of the many directors fans wanted to take the helm of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but the director hinted at Comic-Con 2013 that he doesn’t think he would ever get to direct a Star Wars movie, simply because he bashed the prequel trilogy so much in his UK TV series Spaced.
Beyond that, though, no other projects have been announced, but today we have an interesting tidbit from an interview that director Edgar Wright gave, about the possibility of directing a Star Wars movie.
When CNet posted their article on Twitter, suggesting that Edgar Wright may be hinting at directing a Star Wars movie, the director responded to that tweet with a simple “No.”
Then again, Simon Pegg, who starred in that series, did land the role of Unkar Plutt in J.J. Abrams’ Star Wars: The Force Awakens, so perhaps there is hope for Edgar Wright to direct a Star Wars movie yet.
