Jonathan Kasdan, who had previously worked on Solo: A Star Wars Story, and The First Time – who is also the son of the writer of Raiders of the Lost Ark Lawrence Kasdan, briefly involved himself in the scripting of the movie after original screenwriter David Koepp of Jurassic Park and Spider-Man fame exited the project.

The movie is scheduled to release in theaters on 29 July 2022.
