‘Star Wars: Starfighter’ adds Amy Adams as first look at Ryan Gosling unveiled

Hollywood actors Amy Adams and Aaron Pierre have joined the cast of ‘Star Wars: Starfighter,’ led by Ryan Gosling.

Apart from their casting, Lucasfilm also released a first look at Gosling from the film, which began production in the United Kingdom on Thursday.

“I feel a profound sense of excitement and honour as we begin production on ‘Star Wars: Starfighter,’” said Shawn Levy, who directs the film.

“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,” he added.

The first image from the film features Ryan Gosling and Flynn Gray standing in front of a vehicle that closely resembles the landspeeder used by Luke Skywalker in 1977’s ‘A New Hope.’
