Shawn Levy’s Sweet Birthday Message To Ryan Gosling Doubles As A Starfighter BTS Photo (And I Can’t Stop Looking At One Detail)

As a lifelong movie fan, I think it’s safe to say Star Wars isn’t just another franchise—it’s a cultural phenomenon. I grew up with it, and so did so many people, and it’s amazing to see the story keep unfolding with new films and shows on Disney+. The next big screen adventure, Shawn Levy’s Starfighter, is on the way, and a recent birthday post from the director for Ryan Gosling gave us a cool little behind-the-scenes peek at what’s to come.

Production on the new Ryan Gosling film, Starfighter, began in late August, and fans are excited for any news about it. While we await the first trailer or clips, director Shawn Levy recently shared a birthday post for Gosling that might give us a glimpse of the movie’s costumes – specifically, the gloves worn by the actor. You can see the photo on the director’s Instagram Story.

Beyond being a sweet picture of the two actors, Star Wars fans are probably examining the photo for clues about the upcoming film, Starfighter. It seems like many scenes will take place on the water, as a previous post by Levy showed Ryan Gosling by the sea as well. It’s safe to guess that the planet featured in the movie is largely covered by water.

One of the most interesting details in the photo is Ryan Gosling’s gloves. These same gloves have shown up in other pictures from the set of Star Wars: Starfighter, and they look really cool. They likely have a purpose related to his character – maybe for flying or fixing his spaceship. We’ll have to wait and see what they’re for!

Disney+ offers streaming access to the entire Star Wars saga and more. You can start watching with ads for as little as $11.99 per month. For an ad-free experience, it’s $18.99 monthly, or you can save 16% by paying $189.99 for a full year. See the deal here.

Since details about Starfighter are scarce, fans are eagerly searching for any hints about the movie. The impressive cast – including Ryan Gosling, Amy Adams, Jeffrey Wright, Mia Goth, and Matt Smith – is also generating a lot of excitement. However, Matt Smith won’t begin filming until December.

It’s been a while since a Star Wars movie was in theaters, with the story now mainly continuing through TV shows. That’s why Shawn Levy’s upcoming movie is generating so much excitement, and people are eager to see what it’s all about.

The director has found a lot of success working with popular genres, like in Stranger Things and Deadpool & Wolverine, which immediately became a box office hit. Because he’s popular with fans of those genres, there’s a lot of anticipation for his take on Star Wars. He’s making a single, standalone Star Wars film, instead of part of a series, which should give him more room to be creative.

The new Star Wars film, Starfighter, is currently being filmed and is expected to be released in theaters on May 28, 2027. Because it wasn’t included in the announced lineup of movies for 2026, fans may need to wait for further details.
