Ryan Gosling Leads Cast in Star Wars: Starfighter
Big news has landed from a galaxy far, far away. Lucasfilm has officially announced the cast of Star Wars: Starfighter , the upcoming standalone movie directed by Shawn Levy, with none other than Ryan Gosling leading the charge. Production has just begun in the United Kingdom, and the excitement among fans has already been set in motion.
This isn’t a sequel, nor is it connected to the Skywalker Saga. Instead, Starfighter is being crafted as a completely new story in the Star Wars universe—one set in a timeline that has never before been explored on screen. It will take place roughly five years after the events of The Rise of Skywalker . The secrecy is tight, as always, but what we do know is that Ryan Gosling’s character is set to embark on a galaxy-spanning adventure where he must protect a young charge from looming threats.

The cast surrounding Gosling is impressive. Flynn Gray, a young actor still early in his career, has been given what could be described as a once-in-a-lifetime break, starring alongside Gosling in such a massive franchise. Amy Adams is also on board, reportedly playing Gray’s mother, reuniting with Shawn Levy after their previous collaborations. Mia Goth and Matt Smith, who were revealed earlier, are set to bring the villainous energy to the story. The rest of the lineup includes Aaron Pierre, Simon Bird, Jamael Westman, and Daniel Ings, all of whom bring a mix of British and international talent to the project.
Director Shawn Levy has expressed just how deeply personal this opportunity is for him. In his own words, being invited by Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy to develop an original adventure within the Star Wars galaxy has been a dream come true. He described how Star Wars shaped his own love for storytelling, and how the chance to add to this legendary saga alongside such a strong cast and crew is, in his view, the thrill of a lifetime.
Behind the camera, Levy is producing the film with Kathleen Kennedy, while Ryan Gosling himself has taken on the role of executive producer alongside Dan Levine, Mary McLaglen, and Josh McLaglen. The script has been written by Jonathan Tropper, though unsurprisingly, the details remain under wraps.
One thing that has been confirmed is the release date. Fans will need to mark their calendars and hold their patience, because Star Wars: Starfighter is scheduled to hit theaters on May 28, 2027 . That gives Lucasfilm and its team plenty of time to build anticipation, and if history tells us anything, the buzz around this film will only grow louder.
So, with Gosling leading, Adams joining, and Levy at the helm, Starfighter is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about entries in the Star Wars legacy—an all-new chapter that will expand the galaxy in unexpected directions.
