Shooting Begins for \"Star Wars: Starfighter\" Film Starring Ryan Gosling
Lucasfilm has announced the start of the filming process for Shawn Levy's feature film and introduced eight other actors who will also appear in the picture.
\"Star Wars: Starfighter\" is the first full-length project of the franchise, which will unfold after the events of \"The Rise of Skywalker.\" The film is directed by Shawn Levy (\"Deadpool & Wolverine\"), and the script was written by Jonathan Tropper (\"The Adam Project\").
The main role is played by Ryan Gosling. The cast also includes Matt Smith, Mia Goth, Aaron Pierre, Simon Bird, Jamael Westman, Danielle Ings, Flynn Gray, and Amy Adams.
According to Levy, the picture is neither a prequel nor a sequel — it is an independent story inspired by the atmosphere of the original \"Star Wars,\" but not directly related to the Skywalker saga.
The plot of the film is kept secret. It is only known that the story focuses on new characters, locations, and elements of mythology. Along with the announcement, the first official shot was published: the black-and-white photograph depicts Gosling and Gray against the backdrop of a landspeeder.
The premiere of \"Starfighter\" is scheduled for May 28, 2027.
