Ryan Gosling’s First Look on Star Wars: Starfighter Set Revealed
Let me explain this slowly, just in case you’ve been living under a rock — yes, Ryan Gosling is officially in a Star Wars movie, and no, it’s not a spin-off about jazz pilots or emotionally repressed androids. The actor was recently spotted on the set of Star Wars: Starfighter, and the first look photo has finally been released. Before you panic and Google “What’s a Starfighter?” — don’t worry, I’ll walk you through it. But first, let’s talk about why this casting is already causing a stir in the galaxy of entertainment news.
Gosling, who is clearly trying to diversify his filmography beyond brooding romantic dramas and synthwave thrillers, shared a black-and-white behind-the-scenes photo on Thursday. The image features him alongside young actor Flynn Gray, who appears to be playing a pivotal character in what’s being described as a standalone adventure. The film, directed by Shawn Levy, kicked off production recently and is currently scheduled to hit theaters on May 28, 2027 — which, by the way, is still plenty of time for spoilers to leak, so maybe don’t scroll too far down your timeline just yet.
Now, before you ask, yes, Gosling is not only starring in the film but also serving as an executive producer. That’s right — he’s not just playing a role, he’s helping shape the story. His character remains under wraps, but based on the image released, he seems to be decked out in some serious sci-fi gear that suggests he’s not just a random droid mechanic this time. This is a fresh entry in the Star Wars universe, and it’s being positioned as a new adventure that doesn’t tie directly into the main Skywalker saga. So, if you were hoping for another Jedi showdown or a Sith origin story, you might want to recalibrate your expectations.
As for the rest of the cast, it’s a veritable constellation of talent. Mia Goth, Matt Smith, Aaron Pierre, Simon Bird, Jamael Westman, Daniel Ings, and Amy Adams are all on board. That’s a lineup that could probably power its own galaxy, let alone a film. With Levy at the helm — known for his work on the Stranger Things series and the Free Guy movie — the tone of the film is expected to blend action with a touch of humor, something the franchise could definitely use after some of its more solemn outings.
So, to recap: Gosling’s in a new Star Wars movie. It’s standalone. It’s got a stacked cast. It’s coming in 2027. And yes, you’ll probably forget about it until the trailer drops, but I’m here to make sure you don’t miss a single detail. You’re welcome.
