Walt Disney Co (DIS) pulled earlier this week the “Star Wars” movie “Rogue Squadron” from its 2023 film schedule.
The company provided no indication on when a new movie in the blockbuster franchise would be released.
This would have been the first “Star Wars” movie to hit theaters since “The Rise of Skywalker” was released in December 2019.
“Rogue Squadron” was slated to be directed by “Wonder Woman” film maker Patty Jenkins.
Previously, the movie was postponed from 2022 to December 2023 because of scheduling conflicts with Jenkins.
