The Star Wars feature project that teams Ryan Gosling with director Shawn Levy has a name and a release date. Star Wars: Starfighter will open on May 28, 2027. That’s just three weeks after fellow mega-Disney title, Avengers: Secret Wars, which bows on May 7, 2027.

Ryan Gosling is set to join the Star Wars galaxy, landing the lead role in a new standalone film titled “Star Wars: Starfighter,” Lucasfilm announced Friday.
