Shawn Levy posted to his IG, an early look at his Lucasfilm title Star Wars: Starfighter with Ryan Gosling and actor Flynn Gray on set in the Mediterranean Sea.
“Somewhere in the Mediterranean Sea #Starfigher,” the Deadpool & Wolverine filmmaker wrote on his Instagram.
Matt Smith, Mia Goth, Aaron Pierre, Simon Bird, Jamael Westman, Daniel Ings and Amy Adams are starring opposite Gosling in the movie penned by Jonathan Tropper. As previously reported, Starfighter isn’t part of the Skywalker saga episodes I-IX. That said, the movie is set five years after the events of Star Wars: Episode IX — The Rise of Skywalker.
The film is set to hit theaters on May 28, 2027. Levy produces with Lucasfilm boss Kathleen Kennedy. Executive producers are Gosling, Dan Levine, Mary McLaglen and Josh McLaglen.
The next Star Wars movie is Mandalorian & Grogu set for Memorial Day weekend release next year, May 22. Disney already owns that holiday’s domestic box office opening record with this past summer’s Lilo & Stitch which bowed to $146M and is the only MPA movie year-to-date to cross $1 billion at the global box office.
2015’s Star Wars: Force Awakens, Episode VII holds the fourth highest opening at the domestic box office with $247.9M and the fifth highest worldwide with $528.9M (unadjusted for currency fluctuations and inflation). 2017’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Episode VIII ranks tenth among global openings with $450.8M while 2019’s Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, Episode IX ranks as No. 27 with $373.5M in its global debut.
