'Wonder Woman' director Patty Jenkins to direct Star Wars film 'Rogue Squadron'

"Wonder Woman" director Patty Jenkins is bringing her talents to Disney.

On Twitter, Jenkins revealed that she will be directing upcoming movie "Rogue Squadron," becoming the first woman to direct a Star Wars film.

In the video, she revealed that she was the daughter of a great fighter pilot and that she grew up watching her father and his squadron taking off into the skies.

"So when he lost his life in service to this country, I ignited a desire in me to turn all of that tragedy and thrill into one day making the greatest fighter pilot movie of all time," she said. "But try as I might and look as I did, I couldn't fight the right story, ever. I kept looking and looking but I just couldn't find the right one... until now."

"Now we're talking about a movie about two things I love so I'm going to see you very soon," she added.

"Rogue Squadron" is slated for release in December 2023.

Based on the popular Nintendo 64 game with the same name, the film will follow a group of fighter pilots as they band together to defend good against evil. —JCB, GMA News
