With Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse intrinsically linked to the GFFA via Phil Lord and Chris Miller and their post-Solo, Oscar winning triumph, the films connect once again as co-director Peter Ramsey jumps into the multiverse (hey, Peter Parker loves Star Wars so it kind of makes sense) and joins Ahsoka for at least one episode.
The director, who became the first Black filmmaker to win the animated feature Oscar as co-director of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, has been tapped to direct at least one episode of Ahsoka, the latest Star Wars series that Lucasfilm is making for Disney+, The Hollywood Reporter has exclusively learned.
Shooting begins in Los Angeles later this month. The episode count and additional directors have not been revealed. Lucasfilm has not commented.
Ahsoka centers on the fan-favorite Jedi knight whom Rosario Dawson initially played in a season two episode of The Mandalorian and who later appeared in The Book of Boba Fett. The character originated in the world of animation.
Ramsey has a superb pedigree, having worked on Men in Black and Fight Club as a storyboard artist, as well as directing the stellar cast of 2012’s Rise of the Guardians.
