Second standalone ‘Star Wars’ film will need a new director

Aside from the new trilogy, there were plans of developing “anthology” films or a series of standalone movies for Star Wars. Rogue One is set to be released next year and Josh Trank was working on the second unnamed title. Or at least he was supposed to. Trank said in a post on StarWars.com: “After a year of having the incredible honor of developing with the wonderful and talented people at Lucasfilm, I’m making a personal decision to move forward on a different path.”

Trank is working on the reboot of Fantastic Four. And there have been rumours that things aren’t going well on that front either. According to The Hollywood Reporter, writer-producer Simon Kinberg (who worked with Trank on Fantastic Four and the Star Wars project) was reluctant to work on another film with him. There is no word who’ll be replacing him yet but we’re sure we’ll be getting news soon enough.

Drax the Destroyer finally gets his own comic

One more Guardians of the Galaxy character is finally getting his own comic. This time Drax the Destroyer will be getting the spotlight. This will be the first standalone comic for Drax since he was introduced in 1973. It’ll follow his personal battles across the galaxy in his attempt to prove he’s the greatest fighter out there.

The series will also be the debut for writer/former wrestler/upcoming UFC fighter CM Punk. He’s written one-off comics before such as Thor Annual #1 and Vertigo’s Stranger Sports Stories but this will be the first time he’ll be taking on an ongoing comic book series. No other details have been revealed yet except for the cover done by Ed McGuinness. Drax #1 will be out this winter.
