Simon Kinberg outlook
By: Jake Rajala
Simon Kinberg isn’t George Lucas, but he has quite the Star Wars mind. He is creating a standalone Star Wars trilogy. It was announced back in 2024 by Deadline that he would work with Kathleen Kennedy on the projects. They will be 10 through 12, with “A New Hope” as the first film.
Simon has done a superb job as an assistant with films like “The Force Awakens” and “The Force Rebels”. He has really stood out on X-Men. He has been the writer that closely worked with the director, which was often Bryan Singer. The X-Men legend, Michael Fassbender, even almost became a member of “The Force Awakens”, but it conflicted with his schedule. I have to say that my favorite X-Men film has to be “X-Men: Days of Future Past”.
Every Star Wars fan will hope that his new films will be more impressive than the “The Mandalorian and Grogu” and the other trio of films (The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, and The Rise of Skywalker). We also have high expectations for “Star Wars: Starfighter”.
So, what other key facts should we know about Simon. Besides X-Men, he worked on a unique, popular film by the name of Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
He makes characters that come in all sorts of sizes. Well, he also stands out, as he’s 6’5!
Simon is from London. It’s not quite as glamorous as some towns in Italy, such as Florence and Milan. Nonetheless, it’s a European town worth seeing and getting inspired by.
