The House of the Dragon star<\/strong>\u00a0has shared a\u00a0new update about his role in Star Wars: Starfighter<\/strong>. The highly anticipated standalone film is\u00a0directed by Shawn Levy<\/strong>\u00a0and set to\u00a0release on May 28, 2027<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Smith revealed to A Rabbit\u2019s Foot that he will begin filming Star Wars: Starfighter in December 2025. He also offered a glimpse into the meticulous preparation happening behind the scenes. He is currently deep in the process of developing his character\u2019s visual identity. \u201cI\u2019m going through this process now for the job I\u2019m about to do,\u201d Smith stated.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re going through the process of trying to find a costume, and sometimes you don\u2019t know if you love a costume until you\u2019ve worn it for a couple of days. I\u2019m about to do Star Wars in December, and we\u2019re sort of trying to develop the look for that.\u201d This attention to detail is especially crucial, as Smith is widely reported to be playing a villain in the film\u2014a role that demands a memorable and imposing aesthetic. His co-star, Mia Goth, is also rumored to be portraying an antagonist.<\/p>\n The fact that Matt Smith is only starting in December raises questions about the size of his role. Lucasfilm officially announced that Starfighter began production in the U.K. in August, with a star-studded cast including\u00a0Ryan Gosling\u00a0and Flynn Gray already on set. Smith\u2019s later arrival could indicate a significant but possibly not leading part. However, it may also reflect the filmmakers\u2019 dedication to perfecting the characters\u2019 menacing arcs before filming his scenes.<\/p>\n Moreover, this isn\u2019t Matt Smith\u2019s first encounter with a Star Wars production. Rumors once linked him to the role of a young Emperor Palpatine in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, but those plans ultimately fell through. Now, he officially begins his journey to a galaxy far, far away in December.<\/p>\n Originally reported by Devanshi Basu on\u00a0SuperHeroHype<\/a>.<\/p>\n The post Star Wars: Starfighter Actor Gives Filming Update on Ryan Gosling Movie<\/a> appeared first on ComingSoon.net – Movie Trailers, TV & Streaming News, and More<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The House of the Dragon star\u00a0has shared a\u00a0new update about his role in Star Wars: Starfighter.
