Ousted Star Wars directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are set to receive executive producer credit on the upcoming Solo: A Star Wars Story.

Last year, the duo was fired from the film midway through its production but will take the executive producer credit for the work they accomplished during early production.

“We were really proud of the many contributions we made to that film. In light of the creative differences, we elected to take an executive producer credit,” the pair said during a recent festival.

The partners were eventually replaced by Ron Howard, who reportedly re-shot a large amount of the film, leaving the question of who would be credited as director.

Solo: A Star Wars Story is set to hit theaters on May 25th.

An animated installment to the Spider-Man franchise will be hitting theaters next year and the first trailer has been released.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse will introduce Brooklyn teen Miles Morales, and the limitless possibilities of the Spider-Verse, where more than one can wear the mask.

Dope‘s Shameik Moore is voicing the role of Miles with Mahershala Ali, Brian Tyree Henry, and Liev Schreiber all attached to lend their voices as well.

The Lego Movie‘s Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are directing the film, which will hit theaters on December 14, 2018.

The upcoming Han Solo spinoff movie will need to find a new director after Phil Lord and Christopher Miller were let go as co-directors due to creative differences with Lucasfilm.

Lucasfilm president and Star Wars producer Kathleen Kennedy released a statement on StarWars.com to announce the news.

“Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are talented filmmakers who have assembled an incredible cast and crew, but it’s become clear that we had different creative visions on this film, and we’ve decided to part ways. A new director will be announced soon,” she said.

Phil and Chris previously co-directed the movies 21 Jump Street, 22 Jump Street, The Lego Movie, and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.

“Unfortunately, our vision and process weren’t aligned with our partners on this project. We normally aren’t fans of the phrase ‘creative differences’ but for once this cliché is true. We are really proud of the amazing and world-class work of our cast and crew,” the guys said in a statement.

Alden Ehrenreich is playing a young Han Solo in the movie, which has already begun production. The May 2018 release date will not change despite the directorial change.
