Ryan Gosling’s Star Wars Movie Just Cast A House Of The Dragon Star, And They Have A Great Tie To Starfighter’s Lead Actor

For enthusiasts of that distant galaxy, there’s always room for anticipation about an upcoming “Star Wars” movie. This is clearly evident with director Shawn Levy’s work in progress within the Star Wars universe, titled “Star Wars: Starfighter“, which won’t hit the screens until May 2027. The appeal of the captivating lead piloting an X-Wing and causing explosions seems to be the main reason for this early excitement. And just when you thought things couldn’t get any more exhilarating, a renowned actor from “House of the Dragon” and veteran of sci-fi is rumored to be taking on the role of the film’s primary antagonist.

According to Deadline’s reports, Matt Smith is set to join the Star Wars galaxy at last. It appears that the director of Deadpool & Wolverine has been auditioning actors for some time now, and the details about Smith’s role are being kept secret. However, rumors suggest that Smith will take on the role of a powerful new villain in the Star Wars universe.

As a passionate movie enthusiast, what really piques my curiosity is the fact that I’ve seen Ryan Gosling in a project before – he starred with Grant Heslov (from “Caught Stealing”) in “Lost River,” which was his (so far) only foray into writing and directing. Given this shared history, their reunion in “Project Hail Mary” has the potential to create some intense, captivating on-screen dynamics that I can’t wait to witness!

Indeed, at this moment, fans of Matt Smith, including myself, can’t help but recall two pivotal casting choices that set the stage for what seemed like a glorious future in science fiction – alas, destiny had other plans. On one side, my mind drifts back to his role in “Terminator: Genisys,” where he was cast as the embodiment of Skynet. This role served as a potential indicator of significance for later films within the trilogy, since those follow-ups unfortunately never materialized.

The Disney Plus and Hulu Bundle offers a package starting at $10.99 per month ($19.99 ad-free). Despite Doctor Who’s Matt Smith era not being included, you can enjoy the latest seasons of this popular sci-fi series. Additionally, you can prepare for Starfighter’s 2028 release by brushing up on your Star Wars knowledge. If desired, you can also rewatch The Rise of Skywalker without any judgement. Check out the deal here!

In awe, I can’t help but share an experience that surpasses even the tale of his role in another iconic sci-fi epic – Star Wars perhaps? You might wonder if we’re talking about the same universe here. Well, it turns out Matt Smith was almost part of the final chapter, The Rise of Skywalker. His role, a subject of ongoing speculation, has left many fans guessing. Some believe he was destined to play a Palpatine clone, an intriguing theory that lost its relevance when Ian McDiarmid’s formidable character, Emperor Palpatine, reappeared in J.J. Abrams’ epic conclusion to the sequel trilogy.

Star Wars: Starfighter is set to enter theaters in our galaxy, on May 28, 2027.
