Lucasfilm confirmed production is underway on the standalone Star Wars film, Star Wars: Starfighter. And with filming getting underway, Lucasfilm announced the actors who will be starring alongside three-time Oscar nominee Ryan Gosling (Barbie) in the project.
Six-time Oscar nominee Amy Adams (Disenchanted), Matt Smith (House of the Dragon), Flynn Gray (Borderline), Mia Goth (the X films), Aaron Pierre (Genius), Simon Bird (Everyone Else Burns), Jamael Westman (Good Grief), and Daniel Ings (The Gentlemen) have signed on to the Star Wars film, which will focus on a time period that hasn’t been seen in any previous entry of the franchise. Lucasfilm previously teased that the film is set five years after the events of 2019’s Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker.
“I feel a profound sense of excitement and honor as we begin production on Star Wars: Starfighter,” stated filmmaker Shawn Levy. “From the day Kathy Kennedy called me up, inviting me to develop an original adventure in this incredible Star Wars galaxy, this experience has been a dream come true, creatively and personally. Star Wars shaped my sense of what story can do, how characters and cinematic moments can live with us forever. To join this storytelling galaxy with such brilliant collaborators onscreen and off, is the thrill of a lifetime.”
Shawn Levy (Deadpool & Wolverine) is directing from a screenplay by Jonathan Tropper (Warrior). Levy and Kathleen Kennedy are serving as producers. Executive producers include Ryan Gosling, Dan Levine, Mary McLaglen, and Josh McLaglen.
Lucasfilm has set a May 28, 2027 theatrical release date.
