Shawn Levy Celebrates ‘Star Wars: Starfighter’ Wrapping Its Shoot With Behind-the-Scenes Look

Star Wars: Starfighter is getting ready to hit the ground running.

Filmmaker Shawn Levy took to Instagram on Thursday to celebrate the upcoming feature having wrapped filming. Ryan Gosling stars in the movie that Disney is set to release theatrically on May 28, 2027.

Levy shared a photo of himself jogging along the set. He added the caption, “That’s a wrap! Headed into #Starfighter post-production like…”

The director previously marked the start of the shoot in September by sharing a photo of Gosling and co-star Flynn Gray posing in costume with the Mediterranean Sea behind them. “Somewhere in the Mediterranean Sea #Starfighter,” Levy captioned that image.

Plot details for Star Wars: Starfighter have not yet been revealed, although the stand-alone movie is set roughly five years after the events of 2019’s Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalkerwhich was the last title from the franchise to hit theaters. Director Jon Favreau’s The Mandalorian & Grogu is set for theatrical release on May 22, 2026, as a spinoff to the Disney+ series The Mandalorian.

Matt Smith, Mia Goth, Aaron Pierre, Simon Bird, Jamael Westman, Daniel Ings and Amy Adams round out the cast for Star Wars: Starfighter.

“The reality is that this script is just so good. It has such a great story with great and original characters,” Gosling told the audience earlier this year at Star Wars Celebration in Tokyo. “It’s filled with so much heart and adventure, and there just really isn’t a more perfect filmmaker for this particular story than Shawn.”

Jonathan Tropper wrote the script for the movie that Levy has been developing since 2022. Levy and Kathleen Kennedy serve as producers.

Levy’s recent directorial credits include Disney’s massive hit Deadpool & Wolverine and Netflix’s The Adam Project.

Gosling leads next year’s Amazon MGM Studios feature Project Hail Mary.
