Boba Fett is reportedly getting his own movie

Fan favorite bounty hunter Boba Fett may finally be getting his own movie, if a new report is to be believed.

James Mangold has just been set to write and direct a spinoff about the Star Wars bounty hunter, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Mangold's recent credits include Logan and The Wolverine.

The news comes just as another character-centric Star Wars spinoff, Solo: A Star Wars Story, hits theaters.

Han Solo and Boba Fett aren't the only Star Wars characters embarking on standalone adventures. Lucasfilm allegedly has a number of unofficial spinoff projects in development, including a movie about Obi-Wan Kenobi that reportedly has Stephen Daldry in talks to direct.

The possibility of a Boba Fett movie has been swirling for some time now. A number of reports have said the bounty hunter was the subject of the film that director Josh Trank was working on -- until Lucasfilm fired him after his antics on the set of Fantastic Four.

More recently, Simon Kinberg was rumored to be producing a Boba Fett project. It's unclear if he's involved with Mangold's film.

No official confirmation or release date has been announced for the Boba Fett film, and no plot details were revealed in the report.
