Mission: Impossible writer-director Christopher McQuarrie has teased that he is open to directing a Star Wars movie after originally stating that he was “cured” of ever wanting to direct a film in this universe following online backlash after the release of Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

Responding to a fan who tweeted they want to see McQuarrie eventually direct a Star Wars movie, McQuarrie – who previously contributed to the script for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story – replied: “They know where to find me.”
In June 2018, when replying to a Twitter thread involving Johnson, McQuarrie tweeted to Johnson, “My friend, After five minutes of this, I don’t know why you’re still on Twitter. I would have loved to make a Star Wars film someday. I’m cured.”
McQuarrie is currently readying for Mission: Impossible 7 and Mission: Impossible 8 which are set to release in 2021 and 2022 respectively. Therefore, if Lucasfilm was to approach the director to helm a Star Wars movie, it would be some years before we could see his take on the galaxy far, far away.
