Shawn Levy Debunks Rumors: Star Wars: Starfighter’s True Place in the Franchise

by

The collaborative venture between Ryan Gosling and Shawn Levy has been catapulted into high gear. The movie’s name, now officially revealed, is titled “Project Titan“, set to debut in cinemas on May 28, 2027. This anticipated summer blockbuster will hit the screens a mere three weeks after Disney releases another massive franchise, “Avengers: Secret Wars“. This will result in an unprecedented cinematic duo offering at the box office.

As a fervent admirer, I’m thrilled to be part of the chorus that can’t wait for Tim Miller, who recently breathed fresh vigor into the Marvel Cinematic Universe with films like Deadpool and Wolverine, to try his hand at revitalizing the Star Wars franchise with an upcoming installment. The title was unveiled during the climactic moments of the Star Wars Celebration Convention in Tokyo, where both Ryan Gosling and Tim Miller graced the stage together.

“This Script Is Just So Good.”

During the presentation, Ryan Gosling expressed his admiration by saying, “This script is truly exceptional. It boasts an engaging plot with unique and captivating characters. It’s brimming with emotion and excitement, and I can’t think of a more fitting director for this tale than Shawn.

Gosling makes a valid observation. Though Levy may be predominantly remembered now because of his recent Marvel Cinematic Universe appearance, he boasts an extensive and remarkable history in directing family-oriented adventure films like “Night at the Museum” and “Real Steel”. This extensive experience in creating movies that appeal to wide audiences makes him exceptionally qualified to revitalize the Star Wars universe.

Levy mentioned that there are numerous tales circulating about the film, some accurate and some false. Interestingly, this movie is situated approximately five years following ‘Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.’ He clarified that it’s neither a prequel nor a sequel but rather a fresh journey.

During the presentation, the conversation became emotional as Ryan Gosling’s old Star Wars-themed bedsheets were displayed, thanks to his mother. “I guess she still has them,” Gosling confessed shyly. “I think she thought it would be interesting for fans, but I suspect she just can’t bring herself to part with them.” The actor went on to share that he might have been dreaming about Star Wars before he even watched the movie. He also mentioned that Star Wars may have played a significant role in shaping his understanding of what a movie could be.

This update is connected to a recent surge of announcements about upcoming “Star Wars” movies following a period where they were in development hiatus. Levy’s association with a “Star Wars” project was established in 2022, alongside his frequent collaborator Jonathan Tropper, who has previously worked with the director on films such as “The Adam Project.

As a captivated moviegoer, I’m eagerly anticipating the summer of 2027 when Ryan Gosling’s magnetic charm and Avi Arad (Jonathan Levy) – a mastermind known for revitalizing iconic franchises – team up to create their unique take on “Star Wars: Starfighter”. This new addition to the galaxy far, far away promises to establish its own distinctive niche.
