Kevin Feige's STAR WARS Movie Finds A Writer In LOKI's Michael Waldron As That Series Gets A Season 2

There's some big Star Wars and Marvel news here, as Kevin Feige has tapped Loki's Michael Waldron to pen his movie set in a Galaxy Far, Far Away before he starts work on a season 2 of the Disney+ series.

Filed Under: Star Wars

We first heard that Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy had enlisted Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige for a new Star Wars movie back in 2019, and we finally have a noteworthy update on the project.

According to Deadline, Feige has turned to Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness writer and Loki head writer and creator Michael Waldron to pen the screenplay for his mystery project. This is part of what the trade calls an "unprecedented overall deal" the scribe has signed with Disney - a good indication that he plans to work with the studio for many years to come.

It's noted that, "Besides writing this new Star Wars film, the deal is also expected to bring back Waldron in some capacity for season 2 of Loki."

We've been hearing rumblings about Loki receiving a season two for some time now, but this is the closest we've had to confirmation that it's moving ahead. There's no word on when that or Feige's Star Wars movie are scheduled to begin production, but you have to believe both are a priority for Disney.

Among Waldron's other credits are upcoming Starz wrestling drama Heels starring Stephen Amell, and Adult Swim's Rick and Morty (which saw him win an Emmy for his season four work).

Are you excited to see what Feige has planned for the Galaxy Far, Far Away?

MCU heroes we think could beat Superman in a fight!

10. The Vision

In Avengers: Age of Ultron, The Vision became the first hero other than Thor to lift Mjolnir.

The fact he's worthy is a big deal the Russo Brothers didn't capitalize on in the three Marvel Studios movies they directed featuring the android, and it felt like they de-powered him to an extent. Pit The Vision who defeated Ultron and wielded the God of Thunder's hammer against Superman, however, and the Man of Steel may very well come out on the losing end.

The Vision could shake off Superman's blows by becoming intangible, while then becoming dense enough to put a real hurting on the DC Universe's most iconic hero.

It would be a close contest, but one that could go in The Vision's favour.

9. Ultron

A weakened Ultron may have been defeated by The Vision, but had he not run afoul of the Scarlet Witch, then the Vibranium-enhanced android would have been truly unstoppable.

With Superman unable to use his heat vision to destroy that Wakandan substance (had Marvel Studios owned the rights to the X-Men in 2015, he likely would have been made from Adamantium), he'd have a hard time beating Ultron, especially if the villain had an entire army by his side.

Together, they could easily overpower Superman, leaving the Man of Tomorrow with odds even he's not capable of overcoming.

Concept art has shown an Ultron who used his drones to transform himself into a giant swarm, and while we're confident Superman would destroy many of them, Ultron-Prime would surely be the one left standing by the time all is said and done in this battle.

8. Hulk

The Hulk has proven himself the Strongest Avenger, but Marvel Studios has yet to lean heavily into the idea that the angrier the Jade Giant gets, the stronger he then becomes.

Had the Green Goliath not been defeated by Tony Stark when he donned his Hulkbuster armor, it's hard to escape the feeling he might have ranked higher (particularly now he has Bruce Banner's intelligence). In some ways, though, those smarts are likely to work against The Hulk as he's no longer an out of control powerhouse fuelled solely by his rage.

All that aside, and it's inevitable that The Hulk would push Superman to his limits. This would be a long, bloody battle possibly lasting for days, but with the Green Goliath's healing ability, he would have the edge.

Superman just couldn't compete.

7. Iron Man

We know what you're thinking, alright. Superman would just tear Iron Man's armour straight off Tony Stark's body and vaporise him with his heat vision. Game over in a matter of seconds.

However, Tony isn't a stupid guy.

In the comic books, he's created suits which have allowed him to go toe to toe with everyone from The Hulk to Thor, and he's occasionally come out on the winning end of those fights. In the case of Superman, a Kryptonite laced set of armor would be all it takes to weaken the Man of Tomorrow to the point he's easily beaten.

Iron Man would surely be pushed to his limits, but if he can stop The Hulk in his tracks, Supes doesn't stand a chance.

6. Ego

Ego had a predictable weak spot in James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, but a) how would Superman know about that, and b) what if that wasn't an issue for this mighty Celestial being?

Using that thought process, the DC Comics icon would be as outmatched in this fight as he was when he attempted to take down Dr. Manhattan in Doomsday Clock. Ego is too big a foe for even Superman when all is said and done, and so it wouldn't take long for him to show the boy scout who his daddy is.

Well, not literally, but you never know!

Regardless, this would be an epic, space set clash which would ultimately see Superman fall short.

5. Thor

Superman vs. Thor is a dream match for comic book fans, and one it would be jaw-dropping to see play out with the MCU's version of the God of Thunder taking the fight to the Man of Steel.

Over the years, we've seen Thor take some real beatings, but he always gets back up again, and as a literal Thunder God, his thousands of years of experience should help him find Kal-El's weak points, exploit them, and show the DC superhero that being a God is vastly more impressive than being an alien.

Whether he has Mjolnir or Stormbreaker in hand is unlikely to matter, though the latter is likely to cause a lot of damage to Superman if we're assuming it can cut through his skin.

Another close content, but one which would see Thor declared the victor, for sure.

4. Doctor Strange

Doctor Strange is the Sorcerer Supreme, and if Superman has once weakness, it's magic!

The Man of Steel has found himself overpowered by many a "magician" over the decades, but perhaps never one as resourceful and unrelenting as this former surgeon. He may no longer have access to the Time Stone, but that doesn't mean Strange couldn't still take Superman through a mind-bending battle that leaves him overwhelmed and weakened.

With that, the reluctant Avenger could move in for the kill, stopping Superman in his tracks.

Heck, it could be as simple as banishing him to a dimension with a red sun or playing mind games which remind Kal-El of everything he lost the day Krypton was destroyed!

3. Captain Marvel

For a while, it seemed Captain Marvel could very well be the MCU's most powerful superhero.

However, she appears to have some weaknesses, and didn't take Thanos down anywhere near as easily as most expected. That's why Carol Danvers isn't #1 here, but don't let her ranking fool you...she's more than a match for Superman and could handily beat him if they were to come to blows.

That's not us saying it would be an easy fight, of course.

In fact, Superman would likely be her greatest challenge yet. By the time all is said and done, though, this battle (which would probably tale place on Earth and in space) would end with Captain Marvel standing atop the fallen Man of Steel as the most mighty hero of the two.

2. Thanos

Even without the Infinity Gauntlet, Thanos is one of the strongest warriors in the entire MCU. He makes short work of men and Gods alike, and as an Eternal, he's among a select group of beings capable of unleashing the power of each of those Infinity Stones.

With them in the Mad Titan's possession, Superman simply would not stand a chance.

The Man of Steel would no doubt be a bigger threat to Thanos than anyone who has come before him, but the villain could quite easily just snap him out of existence if he felt like it!

Even without the Stones, Superman would be pushed to his limits...with them, however, there would only be one winner and that's Thanos. He would just need to hope the DC hero doesn't wrestle the Infinity Gauntlet away from him because that could see this flight play out in a much different way.

1. Scarlet Witch

Confirmed as the MCU's most powerful superhero, the Scarlet Witch would make short work of Superman. Had Thanos's forces not interrupted her in Avengers: Endgame, she would have defeated the Mad Titan, and the Man of Steel would be similarly overpowered by the Avenger.

Between her power levels and Superman's vulnerability to magic, he simply would not stand a chance.

Marvel Studios has only just started exploring the Scarlet Witch's powers, and it's apparent WandaVision is going to reveal more about her past (likely confirming she's a mutant in the process).

The Man of Steel is formidable, but not formidable enough to be anything other than Wanda's punching bag...

Loki looks like it's going to be a fun watch. Good for the dude.

Repian - 1/7/2021, 9:49 AM

The Russo brothers have to collaborate with Feige on this project. They would be perfect for directing the movie.

Cbmfilmjunkie - 1/7/2021, 9:49 AM

You have to think that Disney and Lucas Films views the new trilogy as a failure.
None of those characters are returning to any of the upcoming projects and with the success of The Mandalorian they’re shying away even more from that dumpster fire of a trilogy.

Ha1frican - 1/7/2021, 9:50 AM

Damn thought it was saying Tom would be in it but I’m still looking forward to this

InfinitePunches - 1/7/2021, 9:50 AM

Based on the way they're doing phases, I wouldn't be surprised if the use Feige to expand the High Republic stuff.

WakandaTech - 1/7/2021, 9:50 AM

All I know is that the MCU is about to go BONKERS

Cannot Wait for everything Feige is about to unleash

Especially this guy

tb86 - 1/7/2021, 9:52 AM

I thought this was suppose to be a miniseries.

Kumkani - 1/7/2021, 9:58 AM

Well damn

GhostDog - 1/7/2021, 9:58 AM

Figure one big MCU star will be cast in this at the very least

Loki Trailer looked fabulous. So...green light season 3 while your at it!

Godzilla2000Zer - 1/7/2021, 10:03 AM

Oh come on Loki is dead.lol
Star Wars is interesting though

DarthNihilus - 1/7/2021, 10:08 AM

As long there's no Kathleen Kennedy's crap.

Hope Favreau/Filoni/Lucas will give some input.

SerKurtWagner - 1/7/2021, 7:52 PM

@RevanOfKrypton - You do realize this is ALL Kathleen Kennedy's "crap," right. The Mandalorian is hers. Feige's movie is hers. Every show announced at the stockholder expo is hers. She has the same role in each of these projects as she did in the Sequels. Yet somehow that never gets acknowledged by people like you...

WakandaTech - 1/7/2021, 10:16 AM

The "Favrreauloniverse" of Star Wars in the next few years is going to be EPIC

Goldboink - 1/7/2021, 11:47 AM

@WakandaTech -
Yes, it will. Favreau is taking all the lessons learned launching the MCU and bringing it to the SW universe. Filoni is the star wars geek who was rewarded by being given the keys to the castle. They have recruited a slate of directors and writers who were SW fans as kids and understand what the property is all about.

If anybody thinks that Grogu is going away your are kidding yourself. He is the focal point and through point for the next decade of films. Considering Yoda was some 900 years old when he died and Grogu is only 50 they could easily go 100 or 200 years into the future and have him play a role. Taika is making a movie and that will be over the top. I'll bet dollars to donuts that Robert Rodriguez will also continue to be involved and he is a certifiable badass.

Epic may not be an epic enough adjective to describe it.

Himura - 1/7/2021, 10:21 AM

I was wondering if these shows would be one-offs are have multiple seasons. Something like Wandavision I feel like would be limited to one but Loki can do many as it's set outside the main continuity.

bobevanz - 1/7/2021, 10:25 AM

This and Taika's movie has me really intrigued. I feel one of them will definitely take place in the OT, probably feige's

BabyBaboons - 1/7/2021, 10:26 AM

Directed by either Jon Watts or Peyton Reed. Save this in the drafts lmaoooo

WakandanQueen - 1/7/2021, 11:49 AM

@BabyBaboons - Peyton Reed? You mean the guy who directed the best episode of The Mandalorian?
