Ryan Gosling already survived going to space in “Project Hail Mary,” but now he’s ready to blast off to a galaxy far, far away in “Star Wars: Starfighter.” The upcoming “Star Wars” movie previewed footage at D23 and is set to release in theaters on May 28, 2027.

Disney and Lucasfilm have kept plot details about “Starfighter” locked up tight, but it’ll be the first follow-up to 2019’s “Episode 9: The Rise of Skywalker” and a fully standalone story. Gosling’s movie will be set five years after the latest trilogy ended, with the chance that some characters may return from the “Star Wars” sequels. “Deadpool & Wolverine” director Shawn Levy, a self-professed “Star Wars” fan, helms the new movie with a script by Jonathan Tropper.
