Rumors have been circulating around that Director Peyton Reed (Ant-Man) was set to direct at least one episode, and now a tweet from Reed himself might have just “confirmed'' that, or he might just be an avid prop collector.
What’s Happening:
- Earlier today, Director Peyton Reed (Ant-Man, Ant-Man and The Wasp) cryptically tweeted the image above with caption “#MayThe4thBeWithYou.”
- Rumors have been circulating that Reed had been tapped to direct at least one episode of the fan-favorite series The Mandalorian on Disney+ and this could be his way of confirming those rumors.
- Reed wouldn’t be the first Director to make his way over from the Marvel universe to the Galaxy Far, Far Away. The Mandalorian was created by Jon Favreau, Director of Iron Man and Iron Man 2, who also serves as head writer, showrunner, and as one of the Executive Producers of the series. Taika Waititi, Director of Thor: Ragnarok and the upcoming Thor: Love and Thunder, directed the last entry of the first season of the series, titled “Redemption.” It was also announced earlier today that Waititi would be helming a new theatrical Star Wars film.
- It is unclear if this image is referencing his direction of an episode in the upcoming season 2, which wrapped before stay-at-home orders halted the production of many shows in California, or if this is attributed to season 3, which is reportedly already in pre-production.
