For a Star Wars<\/a> movie that is still keeping most of its cards very close to the chest, Starfighter<\/a> has already started to build a pretty serious level of curiosity. A lot of that comes down to the team behind it, of course, but it also has to do with the fact that Ryan Gosling<\/a> does not exactly sign up for this kind of thing unless he sees something special in it, and based on his latest comments, he clearly does. Alongside Gosling, the cast includes Flynn Gray<\/a>, Matt Smith<\/a>, Mia Goth<\/a>, Aaron Pierre, Simon Bird, Jamael Westman, Daniel Ings, and Amy Adams<\/a>. While Lucasfilm has not publicly revealed most character names yet, we’re pretty sure we won’t be disappointed with what this star-studded cast is going to bring to the table.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Collider’s Steve Weintraub<\/a> while promoting Project Hail Mary<\/a>, Gosling was asked why both longtime Star Wars fans and complete newcomers should be excited about Starfighter. Considering he can’t actually talk about the film in great detail yet, it’s pretty clear he’s very excited about this one. Giving fans a vote of confidence ahead of the film’s arrival, he told Collider:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s such a great story on its own, and the characters are amazing. The journey is epic. I think that Shawn Levy<\/a>, he\u2019s got it. He\u2019s got the tone<\/a>. He\u2019s got the enthusiasm for this. It\u2019s infectious. Everybody involved is just sucked into his love. He\u2019s so passionate about this that he\u2019s really so in his element. It was a beautiful thing to see. It felt like someone who\u2019d been working their whole life to be making this, and I think we all felt like we were a part of something really special. I\u2019m saying too much!\u201d<\/p>\n

Because today is Friday the 13th, let’s march our way through the iconic slasher franchise. Ch-ch-ch-ch. Ha-ha-ha-ha.<\/p>\n

Ryan Gosling Promises ‘Star Wars’ Fans Won’t Be Disappointed By ‘Starfighter’<\/p>\n

What makes Gosling\u2019s comments especially interesting is how heavily he leans on Levy. He is not just saying the movie is cool or that the scale is big. He is talking specifically about Levy\u2019s tone, his passion, and the feeling on set<\/a> that everyone was part of something unusually meaningful. Gosling’s perspective should reassure fans that the new Star Wars movie has a point of view worth your time, not just a release date attached to a big franchise.<\/p>\n

When it was pointed out that he hadn’t actually revealed anything, Gosling still seemed hilariously wary of “saying too much.\u201d When pressed again that he still had not actually given away any story details, Gosling doubled down with the line fans will probably latch onto most: \u201cI don\u2019t think you\u2019ll be disappointed.\u201d As for whether Gosling has already seen a rough cut, he shut that down fast, too: \u201cI need to stop talking. [Laughs]\u201d<\/p>\n

Star Wars: Starfighter lands in theaters in May 2027. Stay tuned for more from Weintraub’s conversation with Gosling for Project Hail Mary.<\/p>\n
