Mia Goth is headed to a galaxy far, far away. The “Pearl” actor has joined the cast of Shawn Levy’s “Star Wars: Starfighter,” which also stars Ryan Gosling. Details of her role are currently being kept under wraps.
The film is eyeing a fall production start and Disney has set a theatrical release date of May 28, 2027. Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy and chief creative officer Dave Filoni officially unveiled plans for “Starfighter” at the annual Star Wars Celebration event in Tokyo this April.
The standalone, which focuses on new characters in the “Star Wars” universe, is set roughly five years after the events of “Star Wars: Episode IX — The Rise of Skywalker,” which concluded the Skywalker saga and currently stands as the final feature chronologically on the “Star Wars” timeline.
Goth will next appear in Guillermo del Toro’s “Frankenstein” alongside Jacob Elordi and Oscar Isaac, as well as Christopher Nolan’s “The Oddysey” with Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Anne Hathaway and Robert Pattinson. Previous credits include “Emma,” “Infinity Pool” and Ti West’s film series of “X,” “Pearl” and “Maxxxine.”
“Star Wars: Starfighter” marks Levy’s directorial follow-up to Marvel Studios’ hit buddy comedy “Deadpool & Wolverine,” which raked in $1.3 billion at the global box office after releasing in July 2024 and stands as the highest-grossing R-rated feature of all-time.
Jonathan Tropper has written the screenplay for the film. Tropper has written prior features for Levy (“The Adam Project,” “This Is Where I Leave You”) and is the creator of the Apple TV+ series “Your Friends & Neighbors.”
Goth is repped by WME, Curtis Brown and Michael Auerbach (legal).
