News Star Wars: Starfighter Star Wars: Starfighter Cast Adds Amy Adams, Flynn Gray, and More The Shawn Levy film has just started production in a galaxy far, far away. By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on August 28, 2025 Screenshot: Searchlight Pictures Comment 0 Share New Share Screenshot: Searchlight Pictures Shawn Levy’s Star Wars: Starfighter is starting production today, and to celebrate the occasion, Lucasfilm announced who will be joining Ryan Gosling in the film’s cast, presumably on the light side of the Force. (We already know that Mia Goth and Matt Smith have joined the film in villainous roles.)  In addition to Gosling, Goth, and Smith, we now know that the movie will star Flynn Gray, Aaron Pierre, Simon Bird, Jamael Westman, Daniel Ings, and Amy Adams. What roles they’ll be playing remains unknown, though Lucasfilm also released a very artsy black-and-white photo of Gosling and Gray, in character, sitting on a landspeeder on set (included below).  “I feel a profound sense of excitement and honor as we begin production on Star Wars: Starfighter,” Levy said in a statement. “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.” The movie is a standalone story in the franchise, and takes place roughly five years after the events of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. The studio has promised us that no Skywalkers will return in this film, and I’m holding them to that. (If Palpatine shows up, I will riot.) Star Wars: Starfighter is set to premiere in theaters on May 28, 2027. [end-mark] The post <i>Star Wars: Starfighter</i> Cast Adds Amy Adams, Flynn Gray, and More appeared first on Reactor.
