Star Wars: Starfighter Cast Announced
Amy Adams and Aaron Pierre officially join the cast of Star Wars: Starfighter. Variety did not report what roles they would play.
The film also stars Flynn Gray, Simon Bird, Jamael Westman, Daniel Ings, Matt Smith, and Mia Goth.
Variety also reports that Director Shawn Levy and star Ryan Gosling have begun production in the United Kingdom. To celebrate the milestone, Lucasfilm released a photo of Gosling and Gray posing in front of a landspeeder.
It appears similar to the one used by Luke Skywalker in Star Wars: A New Hope.
Levy said,
I feel a profound sense of excitement and honor as we begin production on Star Wars: Starfighter. From the day Kathy Kennedy called me up, inviting me to develop an original adventure in this incredible Star Wars galaxy, this experience has been a dream come true, creatively and personally.
Star Wars shaped my sense of what story can do, how characters and cinematic moments can live with us forever. To join this storytelling galaxy with such brilliant collaborators onscreen and off, is the thrill of a lifetime.
Shawn Levy, director of Star Wars: Starfighter
