Goth, meet Hoth. Scream queen Mia Goth is the latest addition to Shawn Levy‘s mysterious new Star Wars movie, Starfighter. She’ll star alongside Ryan Gosling, who is playing the film’s lead. Variety reports that Goth‘s role is being kept under wraps for now.

Previously, the role had reportedly been offered to reigning Best Actress Oscar-winner Mikey Madison, who turned it down. The space opera role will be one of the highest-profile roles for Goth to date. Her current resume is notably horror-heavy, with roles in Suspiria, A Cure for Wellness, Infinity Pool, and all three films of Ti West‘s X Trilogy. Later this year, she’s set to star in Guillermo del Toro‘s Frankenstein, and has also landed a role in Christopher Nolan‘s star-studded adaptation of The Odyssey. This will be Goth‘s first venture into big-budget studio franchise filmmaking, although she is also slated to star in the MCU‘s Blade reboot, if it ever gets off the ground.

What Do We Know About ‘Star Wars: Starfighter’?

After a long slumber following the release of sequel-trilogy-concluding (and audience-polarizing) The Rise of Skywalker, the Star Wars movie machine has returned to life. The big-screen spinoff of Disney+‘s The Mandalorian, The Mandalorian and Grogu, is set to hit theaters next year, and Star Wars: Starfighter will follow it to the big screen. Shawn Levy, who helmed last year’s buddy blockbuster Deadpool & Wolverine, is directing from a script by Your Friends and Neighbors‘ Jonathan Tropper. Plot details are being kept under wraps for now, but it’s safe to assume that, given the title, it will center around the series’ trademark outer-space starfighter dogfights. It is also set to take place five or six years after the fall of the First Order, as seen in The Rise of Skywalker, making it the first movie to explore that time period in the Star Wars galaxy. It is set to begin production this fall, and will be released on May 28, 2027.

In addition to The Mandalorian and Grogu and Starfighter, there are several other Star Wars films in varying stages of development. They include a New Jedi Order film, with Daisy Ridley set to return as Rey Skywalker; a James Mangold film about the ancient history of the Jedi; and an entirely new saga spearheaded by Simon Kinberg.
