Star Wars: Starfighter has become the most expensive Star Wars movie ever.
Directed by Shawn Levy, the upcoming Star Wars movie stars Ryan Gosling, with a supporting cast that includes Amy Adams, Aaron Pierre, Mia Goth, Matt Smith, Daniel Ings, and Flynn Gray. Targeting a theatrical release on May 28, 2027, the movie represents the franchise's return to the big screen after the disappointment of Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu (2026) earier this year.
Per a new report from Forbes, Disney is betting big on Star Wars: Starfighter, as it currently stands as the most expensive installment in the franchise yet. The report reveals that, by January 31, 2026, Disney had spent $226.5 million on production on the film. This beats the amount the company spent making 2015's Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which was once the most expensive movie of all time.
