Joss Whedon, director of Marvel's Avengers movies and King of Killing Off Lovable Characters, has said that we would be interested in working on a Star Wars film. Hypothetically speaking. In a recent interview with Complex, the personable filmmaker said that it was the Rogue One trailer that convinced him.
"I was like, 'I don't want to make a Star Wars movie. Like, god dammit, why?' But I saw the trailer for Rogue [One] awhile ago and I was like, 'I want to do that.' To make a Star Wars movie and not be wed to the bigger picture."
Now, to be clear, this is not something that is actively in the works, and Whedon was responding to a question over where he'd take his career next. "There are some times when you get micro-managed to death but with Marvel, they let me make two movies that were very much mine. So do I want to make James Bond movie? Yeah. Anne Hathaway does Catwoman again? Sure, I’m in. Do I want to make a Star Wars movie? Yeah," he said.
