Steven Spielberg and Harrison Ford are currently in the process of developing a fifth Indiana Jones film for Lucasfilm and Disney.

Disney Boss: “We Have No Plans To Make R-Rated Marvel Movies”
With the success of the foul-mouthed Deadpool, many (including Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn) have wondered if Hollywood would learn the wrong lesson from the film and start green-lighting R-rated superhero movies left and right because it’s the trendy new thing to do. But it sounds like Disney CEO Bob Iger isn’t going to be influenced by the hottest, latest thing — he’s perfectly content with the way things are going at Marvel Studios right now. Continue reading
‘Star Wars: Episode VIII’ Has Started Filming
Its release date may have just been pushed back, but production on the next proper Star Wars installment has gotten underway only a few weeks after originally scheduled. During an earnings call with investors (via EW), Disney CEO Bob Iger revealed that filming on Star Wars: Episode VIII is now underway with writer/director Rian Johnson, presumably in London where Star Wars has its soundstage base of operations.

Lucasfilm Will Make More STAR WARS Saga Movies After EPISODE IX
Lucasfilm has already announced that they will be releasing at least two Star Wars films a year for many years to come. Chairman and CEO or The Walt Disney Company, Bob Iger, recently confirmed plans for additional Star Wars films. He told Newsbeat:
“There are five Star Wars films – four more with Episode VII: The Force Awakens – that are in varying stages of development and production. There will be more after that, I don’t know how many, I don’t know how often.”
I think most of us expected this, but it’s nice to have confirmation. Hell, Disney didn’t spend $4 billion to end the saga at Episode IX! As of right now, the studio is developing Rian Johnson‘s Star Wars: Episode VIII, Colin Trevorrow‘s Star Wars: Episode IX, Gareth Edwards‘ Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and Chris Miller and Phil Lord‘s untitled Han Solo movie.
