Director Matt Shakman, best known for directing episodes of TV shows like 'Game of Thrones', 'The Boys', 'Succession' and more recently 'WandaVision', has exited the upcoming 'Star Trek' movie. Parmount Pictures, the studio behind the franchise, confirmed the same in a statement. Recently, Deadline reported that Shakman is in early talks to helm 'Fantastic Four' movie for Marvel Studios. His new gig may have been the reason he chose not to direct 'Star Trek'.

The statement from Paramount read, “Matt Shakman is an incredibly talented filmmaker, and we regret the timing didn’t align for him to direct our upcoming Star Trek film. We are grateful for his many contributions, are excited about the creative vision of this next chapter, and look forward to bringing it to audiences all around world.”

Lindsey Beer and Geneva Robertson-Dworet have penned the script of what would be the fourteenth film in the franchise. The movie has changed many hands.

Negotiations with Chris Pine and Chris Hemsworth failed in 2018. The script by Beer and Robertson-Dworet is separate from the continuity of Abrams movies -- 'Star Trek', 'Star Trek Into Darkness', and 'Star Trek Beyond'.

The film is still scheduled to be released on December 22, 2023.

Director Matt Shakman exits new 'Star Trek' movie for 'Fantastic Four'?

The finale of the web series 'WandaVision' is perhaps one of the most anticipated finales of this season. As several fan theories about the ending of the Marvel show is doing the rounds, director of the series Matt Shakman states that the episode may leave fans disappointed.&nbsp; 
 
Ahead of the finale, Shakman said in a new interview that while many fan theories might not pan out, he termed the ending as "surprising" and "satisfying". 
 
"I know there are so many theories out there; there will be a lot of people who will no doubt be disappointed by one theory or another. But we're always telling this story about Wanda dealing with grief and learning how to accept that loss, and hopefully, people will find that the finale is surprising but also satisfying and that it feels inevitable because it's the same story they've been watching the whole time," he told Entertainment Weekly. 
 
'WandaVision' gives an ode to popular sitcoms over the years while portraying Wanda's grief.&nbsp;

"When she first got the part, she read everything that there was out there, and she very much understood that Wanda has experienced more loss than anybody else in the Marvel universe. She's lost her parents, she's lost her brother, she's lost the love of her life by now, and she's right on the edge. In some ways, (Wanda is) as close as Marvel gets to exploring mental illness, really — like, how do you hold together your reality when you're constantly experiencing so much trauma? She taps into that so beautifully, and she's an incredibly talented actor," Shakman said. 
 
Reports state that Marvel, so far, has no plans to renew the show for the next season. Instead, once the show is over, Marvel will roll out the next series in its phase 4- &nbsp;'The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,' starring Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan in the lead.
