Star Wars Rumor: Michael B. Jordan In Contention For Boba Fett Role In Standalone Film

Jay Jayson- 10/10/2015

Jeff Sneider from The Wrap, revealed during his Meet the Movie Press podcast that Straight Outta Compton director F. Gary Gray was considering two films for his next project. One was the eighth Fast & Furious film, which he recently confirmed that he will be directing, and the other was a LucasFilm project, which Jeff believes was for either Indiana Jones 5 or the Boba Fett standalone movie that Fantastic Four director Josh Trank was once attached to.

While dropping this juicy nugget, Jeff said that he thinks "Boba Fett will be African-American" and he has heard a rumor that Michael B. Jordan is being considered to play Star Wars' notorious bounty hunter.

Additionally, he believes that Walt Disney Studios is making every effort to hire a non-white male director to helm the project to satisfy their new diversity mandate.

                That was a very strange auto-correct.
Sep 24th 2015
35

Sep 23rd 2015
11
why wasn't SOC a sure thing? cuz it's a "black" film?
Sep 23rd 2015
12
That James Brown biopic tanked like shit
Sep 23rd 2015
15
because it's a biopic about NWA
Sep 24th 2015
26
      I was sure he'd be the lead in SOC and it'd make money
Sep 24th 2015
27
Who else in that cast made it seem like a sure thing?
Sep 23rd 2015
14

F4 is the exact opposite of a sure thing. its a trash movie property
Sep 24th 2015
23
Are we pretending that Straight Outta Compton was good?
Sep 24th 2015
17
it was a hit...that's all that matters
Sep 24th 2015
18
      Sad reality...
Sep 24th 2015
20
      That depends, is he gonna be Denzel or Will. What's his trajectory?
Sep 24th 2015
24
           That's not true, Six Degrees of Separation was Will's vehicle
Sep 25th 2015
36
                That wasn't a hit. Nobody cares about that movie.
