Ryan Gosling is joining the Star Wars galaxy in a new film directed by Shawn Levy.

Levy, who recently directed and produced Marvel’s hit Deadpool & Wolverine, made a surprise appearance during The Mandalorian and Grogu panel today, joining Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy and chief creative officer Dave Filoni on stage to confirm his project for the live audience at Star Wars Celebration Japan.

One of several theatrical projects still in development from Lucasfilm, including films by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, James Mangold, Taika Waititi and a new trilogy by Simon Kinberg, Levy’s film — Star Wars: Starfighter — will star Gosling and go into production starting this fall.

Set approximately five years after the events of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, Gosling will play a brand-new character teased by the actor’s appearance on stage.

Star Wars: Starfighter arrives in theaters on May 28, 2027.

It would seem unlikely they have 2 projects with such similar concepts, but not impossible.

Same here, mate - such a pity we likely won’t get to see that.

Probably so, mate. It feels kind of weird; I was quite looking forward to seeing Rogue Squadron - yet have little interest in this. Obviously, if and when information and trailers arrive that’ll likely change… IF.

What’s weird this time is that they claim it will go into production in like 5 months from now. Will they just cobble together art and script ideas that were floating around already? The whole reveal is kind weird in general.

Levy was first reported as being “in talks” to direct a Star Wars movie more than two years ago, and Tropper was hired as the writer back in July.

All we found out from this most recent announcement is the title, the release date, when they plan on starting production, and that it takes place after Episode IX.

You know there were so many people being hired and given movies that I don’t remember his name. I guess that makes more sense. Still, it’s weird to hear they’re actually starting to shoot one of them after so long with nothing. Someone told me recently that TROS is now 6 years ago, and it felt like I aged suddenly.

I doubt it, but I wonder if any story bits or easter eggs from this game are coming…

It’s no longer in development/pre-production. They’ve moved into active production. Filming starts in the fall.
