Who Ryan Gosling Plays in Star Wars: Starfighter Revealed

With The Mandalorian and Grogu likely to gross the lowest box office in Star Wars history under Disney, attention will soon turn to Starfighter. Will the film be able to “save” a franchise for the big screen that has existed only on streaming for more than six years?

The director is Shawn Levy, who knows how to shoot projects that audiences like. Just remember the comic book film Deadpool and Wolverine, which grossed more than $1 billion.

The plot of the film takes place afterStar Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Sunrise. This is the first big title that will show events after the sequel trilogy. This carries certain risks, although Ryan Gosling in the title role gives hope for success at the box office (just look atThe End of the World Project).

Some potential plot details for Starfighter have recently leaked online. Now there are details about the main characters from the FivesWalker insider on the social network.

Starfighter is Star Wars Top Gun

Gosling's character's codename is "Damon." Although the role was originally sought after for an actor in his 30s, this changed when the Barbie star was cast.

Damon is a famous pilot and war hero whose fame has made him a famous figure. He would like to avoid public attention and live anonymously.

Villain Matt Smith's codename is "Gerald". Again, this character was written for a much older age - probably 50 or 60 years old. The role was offered to two famous Oscar-winning actors, and both refused. At the moment we only have this information about the antagonist.

Mia Goth's character is codenamed "Kia". Mikey Madison was actually considered for the role and seemed to be high on Levy's list.

The premiere of Starfighter will take place on May 27, 2027.
