In an exciting turn of events, Ryan Gosling has been announced as the lead actor for the highly anticipated 'Star Wars: Starfighter.' The movie, set for release on May 28, 2027, is an all-new standalone adventure and an entirely original story set in a period of time never before explored in Star Wars.
Alongside Gosling, the star-studded cast includes Mia Goth, Matt Smith, Aaron Pierre, Simon Bird, Jamael Westman, Daniel Ings, and Amy Adams. The youngest member of the cast, Flynn Gray, is also set to make his Star Wars debut.
Production for the film began last month, with Shawn Levy at the helm as director. Levy, who has previously directed the successful 'Deadpool & Wolverine' for Disney and Marvel Studios, expressed his excitement and honor about beginning production on 'Star Wars: Starfighter.'
The first shot from the film was taken somewhere in the Mediterranean Sea, as confirmed by Levy's caption on the image he shared. The image featured Gosling and co-star Flynn Gray, offering a sneak peek into the film's production.
Joining the cast recently is Simon Bird, adding to the already impressive lineup. The film is set five years after 'The Rise of Skywalker' (2019), providing a fresh perspective in the Star Wars universe.
