As cameras roll on the first day of principal photography of Star Wars: Starfighter, Lucasfilm has released the film’s main cast via a press release on StarWars.com.
After months of rumors, Ryan Gosling was confirmed as the film’s star during Star Wars Celebration Japan. The press release confirmed the casting of Matt Smith, who joined the cast in August as “the next great villain in the Star Wars universe,”and will Mia Goth, who was cast in June, in antagonizing Gosling’s yet-to-be-named hero.
Young actor Flynn Gray (Wednesday), Lanterns and Rebel Ridge star Aaron Pierre, British comedian Simon Bird, West End Hamilton star Jamael Westman, Daniel Ings (The Gentlemen) and Amy Adams wereball officially announced as part of the cast of director Shawn Levy‘s film.
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.
