Star Wars: Starfighter, New Details on Gosling Leaked
According to the leak, the actor's character is identified by a specific codename
New rumors are emerging from Star Wars: Starfighter, the film directed by Shawn Levy which is expected to hit theaters in 2027. Some information from the production environment has reportedly revealed the code names used internally for several key characters, offering some clues about the still-mysterious story.
According to the leak, the character played by Ryan Gosling is being identified during development with the codename "Damon". More interesting than the provisional name, however, is the description associated with the role: a celebrated pilot and war hero known throughout the galaxy, tired of notoriety and eager to leave his fame behind.

This hypothesis connects to other rumors circulated in recent months, according to which the protagonist would have had a past in the Resistance. If confirmed, the film would be set after the events of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, exploring a period still little told in live action.
Among other rumors are also the code names attributed to the characters of Matt Smith ("Gerald") and Mia Goth ("Kia"), although no concrete details have emerged about their role in the story. At the moment, Lucasfilm has not confirmed any of the leaked information. It remains to be seen how much these anticipations actually reflect the direction taken by the project, which is destined to represent one of the next cinematic pieces of the Star Wars universe.
