"Star Wars: Starfighter" director unveils initial imagery showcasing Ryan Gosling's involvement

In the vast expanse of the Star Wars universe, a new adventure is taking shape. Shawn Levy, the acclaimed director known for Marvel Studios' Deadpool & Wolverine, has taken the helm for the forthcoming film, Star Wars: Starfighter.

The first shot from the movie was taken somewhere in the Mediterranean Sea, as confirmed by Levy himself, who captioned the image with '#Starfighter'. The image featured Ryan Gosling and his co-star Flynn Gray, who will also be part of the star-studded cast.

Joining Gosling and Gray are Mia Goth, Matt Smith, Aaron Pierre, and Amy Adams. Recently, Simon Bird announced that he too will be joining the cast, adding to the anticipation surrounding the film.

Set to be released in cinemas on May 28, 2027, Star Wars: Starfighter is an all-new standalone adventure and an entirely original story set in a period of time never before explored in Star Wars. The film went into production last month.

Ryan Gosling was unveiled to star in the lead role earlier this year, marking his entry into the Star Wars universe. The film promises to be an exciting journey, with Levy's directorial prowess at the helm.

In addition to Gosling, the cast includes Matt Smith, who is known for his role in Doctor Who, Amy Adams, who has been a part of various blockbuster films, Mia Goth, who recently starred in the horror film 'Pearl', and Aaron Pierre, who has been a part of HBO's 'Lovecraft Country'. Simon Bird, known for his work in 'The Inbetweeners', is also part of the cast.

Star Wars fans are eagerly awaiting the release of The Mandalorian and Grogu, currently set for release on May 22, 2026. However, with the production of Star Wars: Starfighter underway, anticipation for another exciting Star Wars adventure is growing.

Levy's previous film, Marvel Studios' Deadpool & Wolverine, became the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time, grossing $1.33 billion (£95 million) worldwide. With such a successful track record, fans are eager to see what Levy brings to the Star Wars universe.

As production continues and more details about Star Wars: Starfighter emerge, fans can expect updates on the film's progress and the exciting journey it promises to take them on.
