Lucasfilm’s upcoming Star Wars: Starfighter is shaping up to be a major event for the galaxy far, far away. Alongside leading man Ryan Gosling, the cast now includes Flynn Gray, Matt Smith, Mia Goth, Aaron Pierre, Simon Bird, Jamael Westman, Daniel Ings, and Academy Award-winner Amy Adams. Shawn Levy (Deadpool & Wolverine) is directing the film from a script by Jonathan Tropper (The Adam Project). And Levy cannot hide his excitement, based on this statement:
“I feel a profound sense of excitement and honor as we begin production on Star Wars: Starfighter. From the day Kathy Kennedy called me up, inviting me to develop an original adventure in this incredible Star Wars galaxy, this experience has been a dream come true, creatively and personally. Star Wars shaped my sense of what story can do, how characters and cinematic moments can live with us forever. To join this storytelling galaxy with such brilliant collaborators onscreen and off, is the thrill of a lifetime.”
