Mia Goth has joined Ryan Gosling in Star Wars: Starfighter, the feature from director Shawn Levy.
Gosling is leading the new feature project, which is expected to begin production this fall in England. It is scheduled to open May 28, 2027.
Details on the project are scant, but it does involve Gosling playing a character that must protect a young charge against evil pursuers.
Goth will play one of the pursuers. It is the same role that Mikey Madison had been circling before her deal blew up like a Death Star — over money matters.
Lucasfilm had no comment.
The film is a stand-alone story that will be unconnected to the so-called Skywalker Saga, the stories centered on well-established and beloved characters Luke Skywalker and his father, Anakin. The events of Starfighter take place approximately five years after the events of 2019’s Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
“This is a stand-alone. It’s not a prequel, not a sequel. It’s a new adventure. It’s set in a period of time that we haven’t seen explored yet,” Levy said at April’s Star Wars Celebration in Japan.
Goth earned accolades and gathered a fanbase thanks to starring in Ti West’s trilogy of horror movies that include X, Pearl, and MaXXXine. She played several roles in stories set in the 1910, 1970s, and 1980s.
She will next be seen in Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, starring with Oscar Isaac and Jacob Elordi, and has a mystery role in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey.
The InSneider newsletter first broke the news of Goth’s involvement.
