Star Wars and Major Franchises Attempt a Theatrical Rebuild

Lucasfilm is reportedly developing a new Skywalker-related film or trilogy with Jon Watts and Simon Kinberg, alongside multiple 2027 projects and a 50th-anniversary reissue; the project is not fully greenlit. Pixar’s Incredibles 3, Marvel’s Avengers: Doomsday discussions, the September 2027 Simpsons sequel, and possible Spider-Man re-release programming show the broader effort to refresh familiar universes through continuity, nostalgia, and eventized theatrical engagement.
