ArgoandJustice Leaguescreenwriter Chris Terrio is co - writingStar Wars Episode IX , replacing late hiring Jack Thorne . It ’s been a dramatic week for the concluding pic of theStar Warssequel trilogy . Last Tuesday , Colin Trevorrow left the project , get out a monolithic managing director hole on the May 2019 departure . He ’s now beenreplaced by J.J. Abrams , who will be both orchestrate and writing the finale to the series he set about withThe Force Awakens . But that ’s not the only change .
A month ago , Jack Thorne , perhaps best know for writing theHarry Potter and the Cursed Childstageplay , was brought on to rewrite Trevorrow ’s screenplay . It now appears he too has departed the task as Abrams ' co - writer is someone young .
In the announcement that confirmed J.J. ’s return , Lucasfilm also reveal that Chris Terrio will be co - writing theStar war 9script . This means that in addition to getting a new filmmaker behind the tv camera , there ’s an entirely new originative team working on the screenplay .
Terrio won an Oscar for Best accommodate Screenplay for his body of work onArgo . He then followed Ben Affleck , that motion-picture show ’s principal and director , to the DC Extended Universe : he punched up David Goyer’sBatman v Superman : Dawn of Justicescript andwrote the original Justice League screenplaybased on a story handling by himself and Snyder ( which has now hadrewrites care of Joss Whedon ) . The DCEU connection may unnerve someStar Warsfans - Warner Bros. share universe has been incredibly divisive since it debut in 2013 withMan of Steel . However , while he was involved with the scripting , the more controversial elements of the dealership incline to follow from theater director Zack Snyder . Indeed , consideringArgo , Terrio ’s a proven natural endowment when it get along to superimposed stories . That say , it puts even more eyes and pressure sensation onJustice Leagueto perform in November .
The interrogative still remains of what happened to Thorne . He ’s a semi - controversial figure in geek culture for his buff - fiction - esqueHarry Pottertake ( which he puzzle out on with creator J.K. Rowling ) , but it seems more potential a event of Trevorrow ’s departure;reports citing the director as " difficult"also bring up story concern , something that could necessitate a new writer . If so , that may meanStar Wars 9 ’s development will be going back to fundamental principle with the novel hirings .
Terrio will be co - compose with Abrams , who also shared scripting responsibility onThe Force Awakenswith Lawrence Kasdan . There the director was the learner , with theEmpireandJedivet steering the way , but now returning forEpisode IXhe ’s the experient master , which get to how his and Terrio ’s relationship will work intriguing .
Whatever the case , all this goes a long way to steadying theStar Warsship . The dismission of Lord and Miller from Han Solo and now Trevorrow ’s departure painted a Lucasfilm in upheaval , but the chosen replacements , while safe ( Ron Howard is now on the smuggler prequel ) , at least promise square films .
