According to a report from Bespin Bulletin, it appears that production on Jon Watts’ Skeleton Crew is already underway, with the Star Wars series having already filmed in Manhattan Beach towards the end of June, and looking to film in an unknown studio in Culver City, CA and California State University, Dominguez Hills.

Is this why Jon Watts left Fantastic Four?

Jon Watts, fresh off of the record-breaking success of Spider-Man: No Way Home, was originally set to direct the Fantastic Four reboot for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, he stepped down, albeit on good terms with Marvel Studios, looking to focus on other projects. Given his success, it’s no surprise that he looks forward to get involved with any new project of his choosing, and to take on the Star Wars universe is certainly enticing – especially with an exciting concept like Skeleton Crew.
