Month: September 2026

Reports this week – first broken by Knight Edge Media and subsequently backed by The Hollywood Reporter – indicate that Jon Watts is set to direct the opening chapter of Simon Kinberg’s upcoming trilogy (likely Episode X). We explore what Watts brings to the table and what his involvement could mean for the franchise. Plus, we hear YOUR thoughts and dive into some fantastic Patreon messages!
