Matt Smith will be the big naughty of Ryan Gosling Star Wars
Former Doctor Who joins the Galaxy very distant, for the Starfighter of Shawn Levy.
New choice for Lucasfilm!
Matt Smith has just joined the next film in the Star Wars saga, directed by Shawn Levy and currently being pre-production. The British actor, revealed in Doctor Who and currently at the top with House of the Dragonwill be the great villain of Star Wars: Starfighter And will face Ryan Gosling and Mia Goth, the two new heroes of the stars already announced.
We do not know exactly what his role will be, but this is not the first time that Matt Smith approaches the very, very distant galaxy.
The actor had been expected to appear in The ascent of Skywalkerlast part of the main saga. But his character, never confirmed, had finally been cut during the writing phase. “” “We were very close, but it never happened. The role has become obsolete, they no longer needed it”, He confided in 2021 at the microphone of the podcast HAPPY SAD Confused. Without saying more, he evoked a “very stylish” role, a “transformative detail of the Star Wars universe” … enough to nourish fantasies – some fans even imagining a son hidden from Palpatine.
This will certainly not be the case here. Star Wars: Starfighter will mark a new entry into the extended universe, an independent film, with unpublished characters, taking place five years after the events of The ascent of Skywalker.
The scenario is signed Jonathan Tropper, regular collaborator of Shawn Levy (The Adam Project,, This is where i leave you) and creator of the Apple TV+ series Your Friends & Neighbors. The shooting must start this fall.
Star Wars: Starfighter is planned in theaters on May 26, 2027.
