Ryan Gosling to star in new ‘Star Wars: Starfighter’ movie directed by Shawn Levy

A new Star Wars movie starring Ryan Gosling is scheduled for release in two years.

Shawn Levy, the filmmaker of Deadpool & Wolverine, will helm the new Disney movie, which is called Star Wars: Starfighter starring Ryan Gosling.

“The reality is that this script is just so good. It has such a great story with great and original characters,” said Barbie actor Gosling at a Star Wars Celebration in Tokyo.

“It’s filled with so much heart and adventure, and there just really is not a more perfect filmmaker for this particular story than Shawn.”

Gosling’s lifelong passion for the franchise was on display at the event, which showed his childhood Star Wars bedsheets on screen.

“You can see from the picture, I guess I was probably dreaming about Star Wars before I even saw the film,” he said.

“And it’s probably framed my idea of what a movie even was,” he said.

The film, which is scheduled for release on May 7, 2027, is a stand-alone narrative and will not adhere to the Skywalker family’s main plotline or the current Daisy Ridley sequels.

The plot hasn’t been divulged in great depth yet.

Gosling is portraying a new character, and the Star Wars website states that it is “set approximately five years after the events of Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker.”

The new space adventure is “a new adventure, not a prequel or sequel.” “It’s set in a time period that hasn’t been explored yet,” Levy continued.

The Mandalorian & Grogu is scheduled to be the next Star Wars movie released; it is a follow-up to The Mandalorian, which stars Pedro Pascal and was directed by Jon Favreau.

Gosling’s performance as Ken in the 2023 Barbie hit, which also starred Margot Robbie, earned him an Oscar nomination.

Known for his parts in La La Land and The Notebook, the Canadian actor also appeared in The Fall Guy last year as a stuntman.
