The feature film centered on Boba Fett, the feared bounty hunter and much-loved character from the 'Star Wars' universe, will be written and directed by James Mangold of 'The Wolverine' fame.
The news was broken by The Hollywood Reporter on Friday. The news came on the release day of another Star Wars flick, 'Solo: A Star Wars Story'.
Incidentally, Disney-owned Lucasfilm is currently working on films based on specific characters of the universe, including Obi-Wa Kenobi.
Initially, it was speculated that Simon Kinberg of 'X-Men' franchise will be working on the Boba Fett movie, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Kinberg and Mangold have earlier worked together on 'Logan' which earned them high praises, however, no confirmation for any such collaboration has been made yet.
The character of Boba Fett was introduced in 1980 through a film, 'Empire Strikes Back'.
Further details about the storyline and actors are awaited.
