Star Wars: Starfighter Filming Progresses with Ryan Gosling in Mediterranean Set

Production has begun on the upcoming Star Wars film "Starfighter," directed and produced by Shawn Levy, with Ryan Gosling and newcomer Flynn Gray leading the cast. The movie is set to release in theaters on May 28, 2027, following the events of the recent Rey Skywalker trilogy, though its connection to other Star Wars projects remains unclear. New images from the set in Sardinia, Italy, show Gosling and Gray in costumes that evoke a smuggler vibe reminiscent of classic Star Wars characters, suggesting a blend of rugged and heroic elements. The cast also includes talents such as Matt Smith, Mia Goth, Aaron Pierre, Amy Adams, Jamael Westman, and Simon Bird. Levy expressed his enthusiasm for the project, calling it a "thrill of a lifetime" and a dream come true to create an original adventure in the Star Wars universe. The film promises to expand the universe's horizons beyond traditional settings with actual location shooting and a fresh narrative approach.
