After The Mandalorian and Grogu, the next film in the Star Wars franchise will be Starfighter, starring Ryan Gosling. During D23 Expo, Disney exclusively screened the first trailer for the movie. Check out the description:
"Gosling tells a teenager looking at his ship that it’s the fastest ever. When the kid hasn't never heard of it, Gosling tells him there’s a reason for that.
A series of action beats and ships doing cool stuff flashes and it ends with a shot of Gosling piloting the ship, filmed from the front of the ship and looking at him in the cockpit — reminiscent of a shot out of something like Top Gun," Brandon Davis described on Twitter.
