Star Wars: Starfighter Is a New Film Starring Ryan Gosling That’s Arriving in Theaters in May 2027 – Star Wars Celebration



Lucasfilm has officially announced Star Wars: Starfighter, a brand-new film directed by Deadpool & Wolverine’s Shawn Levy that stars Ryan Gosling and will be released in theaters on May 28, 2027. Oh, and it takes place five years after the events of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

The news was revealed at Star Wars Celebration and it was confirmed that production on the film will begin this fall.

We didn’t learn much else about Star Wars: Starfighter besides that Gosling will be playing a brand-new character, but it should help in putting Memorial Day 2027 plans in place for Star Wars fans.

In a heartwarming moment, however, Gosling revealed his mom sent him an old photo of his childhood Star Wars bedsheets when he landed the role.

Star Wars: Starfighter will be part of the new wave of Star Wars films alongside The Mandalorian & Grogu and movies from Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, James Mangold, Taika Waititi, and a trilogy from Simon Kinberg.

Oh, and if the name Star Wars: Starfighter sounds familiar to you, it’s because it was a game released back in 2001!

For more, check out all the other big news from Star Wars Celebration’s The Mandalorian & Grogu panel, including our breakdown of the footage shown from the film and that Ahsoka Season 2 filming begins soon.
