Star Wars: Darth Maul's next movie NOT Han Solo 2 or Boba Fett, it's even MORE exciting

Solo: A Star Wars Story has been warmly received by critics but has been struggling at the box office.

There have been reporst of a fan backlash and even boycott after much unhappiness with The Last Jedi.

Even so, The Solo film itself has not faced direct harsh criticism and the major cameo at the end has reignited excitement and speculation over future Star Wars Anthology movies. 

Especially since a certain Jedi master movie seems to be entering pre-production next according to reports.

WARNING: MAJOR SOLO A STAR WARS STORY SPOILERS

Darth Maul made a shock hologram appearance at the end of Solo, revealing himself as Qi’ra’s Crimson Dawn boss and summoning her to his side.

This immediately suggested the rogue Sith would feature in any Solo sequels.

However, these may be years away and there is another Anthology movie that is widely expected to be announced for December 2020 release.

Furthermore a recent teaser by Darth Maul star Ray Park at a convention ties in closely with reports he is already in talks for his next Star Wars role.

The Obi-Wan Kenobi spin-off film is expected to be announced very soon.

David Weiser reported this from his Comicpalooza encounter with Ray Park: “The last person I met for the weekend was Ray Park. Very nice guy! Had a chat with him about the character of Darth Maul and various Lucasfilm endeavors. I’m just gonna say he strongly implied that a Kenobi movie will happen so all the reports are PROBABLY legit.”

Star Wars commentator Mike Zeroh also reported earlier today: “Ray Park is in talks with Lucasfilm and Disney to appear in a future Anthology film.”

Obi-Wan and Maul have a long and tangled story throughout the Star Wars universe and in the canon Clone Wars animated TV series they cross paths before Obi-Wan finally kills his nemesis.

Weiser and others have pointed out that this could cause logistic problems for bringing Maul into  the Obi-Wan movie, although, of course, they don’t have to meet on screen.

Maul’s manipulation of the Shadow Collective and long-term criminal activities easily play into future plot ideas for an Obi-Wan movie, as well as potential Han Solo sequels.

Either way, it looks like Maul is back to stay.

SOLO A STAR WARS STORY IS OUT NOW.
