It was last April that we learned that Lucasfilm was preparing a new Star Wars film with Shawn Levy at the helm and carried by Ryan Gosling. Although information about this project is scarce, we have just learned more about its casting as well as its synopsis.
A new Star Wars film set in a never-before-explored era
It was during the Star Wars Celebration held in Tokyo, Japan last April that Disney revealed that a new Star Wars project was in the works. Titled Star Wars: Starfighter, Lucasfilm has decided to entrust this new film in the intergalactic franchise to Shawn Levy, director of Deadpool & Wolverine. The filmmaker will direct Ryan Gosling, who will lead this next Star Wars feature film.
Until now, we have had very little information about Star Wars: Starfighter except that this film will not be a prequel or a sequel as Shawn Levy indicated during Star Wars Celebration 2025, but "a new adventure." Indeed, Starfighter will be a standalone film in the Skywalker saga whose plot will take place five years after the events of the final episode of the postlogy, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker,in a time until now unexplored.
Ryan Gosling joined by this actress in Star Wars: Starfighter
While Star Wars: Starfighter will begin filming this fall in England, The Hollywood Reporter has just revealed who Ryan Gosling, who will play the lead role in the film, will co-star with. According to information relayed by the American media, the actor from Drive or Barbie will play a character who will be responsible for protecting his young nephew against evil pursuers.
One of these evil pursuers has been announced and actress Mia Goth will play him. This is the same role Mikey Madison was aiming for before she stepped away from the production for financial reasons.
Mia Goth is used to starring in horror films. Audiences recently saw her in the horror trilogy X, Pearl, and Ti West's MaXXXine. The actress will be starring in Frankenstein directed by Guillermo del Toro alongside Jacob Elordi and Oscar Isaac and we will also see her in The Odyssey by Christopher Nolan but we do not yet know what her role will be.
Note that according to the latest rumors, Jesse Plemons and Sarah Snook have been offered villain roles for Starfighter and Greta Lee could play the young boy's mother.
Star Wars: Starfighter will be released on May 26, 2027 in French theaters.
