'Starfighter': the new Star Wars movie starring Ryan Gosling

Ryan Gosling joins the Star Wars universe with a new film that promises action and a standalone story.

The film is titled Star Wars: Starfighter and will be directed by Shawn Levy, with a screenplay by Jonathan Tropper.

What is Star Wars: Starfighter about?

The film will be part of the Star Wars universe, but with an original story. It won't depend on classic characters or seek to appeal only to nostalgia.

The plot takes place about five years after The Rise of Skywalker, although with new protagonists and no direct connection to previous installments.

A story without ties

According to its director, Shawn Levy, the goal is to tell a story that "stands on its own."

This vision was shared during the Star Wars Celebration by Levy, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy, and chief creative officer Dave Filoni.

Ryan Gosling becomes the new protagonist of the galaxy

Ryan Gosling will be the lead actor in Starfighter. His versatility makes him a strong bet for this universe.

Known for roles in Blade Runner 2049 and La La Land, he now fully immerses himself in a galaxy far, far away.

The cast adds a horror figure

The participation of Mia Goth, known for her work in films such as Pearl and X, was also confirmed.

For now, it hasn't been revealed which character she will play, but her presence adds intrigue to the cast.

When will Star Wars: Starfighter be released?

Filming begins in the northern hemisphere fall of 2025 and Disney has already set the release date: May 28, 2027.

On that day, exactly 50 years since the release of the first Star Wars in 1977 will be celebrated. Everything indicates it will be a special event.

Where will the film be available?

After its theatrical run, Star Wars: Starfighter will arrive in the Disney+ catalog.

The platform is the home of all productions from the universe created by George Lucas.
