EXCLUSIVE: After fighting battles for House Targaryen, Matt Smith is ready to take his next fight to a galaxy far, far, away. Sources tell Deadline that the House of the Dragon star is on board to join Ryan Gosling in Lucasfilm’s Star Wars: Starfighter. Mia Goth is also on board, with Shawn Levy directing the pic. Jonathan Tropper penned the script.
The film will shoot this fall and is set to bow on May 28, 2027. While exact details are vague on who Smith will be playing, sources say it will be one of the villain roles. Casting has been gearing up on the project over the past couple of weeks, with Levy meeting with a number of actors for this key role; sources say execs made the decision to go with Smith to play the next great villain in the Star Wars universe.

Matt Smith playing a convincing villain after being introduced as the quirky, enthusiastic 11th Doctor is proof of his versatility. Great choice.

The only episodes of Dr Who I ever watched were Smith as the Doctor. He's a great actor.

I like it, but Star Wars has fricked up some pretty decent actors in the last 10 years

I'm a big fan of the guy (he's the third best Doctor, behind Tennant and T Baker). He was supposed to be in The Rise of Skywalker - it was announced in the Hollywood trades - but something weird happened with all of the rewrites. The talk was that he would have been young Palpatine.
