A new face has joined the galaxy far, far away, as Mia Goth has signed up to appear alongside Ryan Gosling in Star Wars: Starfighter.

Goth, known among horror fans for the likes of MaXXXine and Infinity Pool, takes on a role that Anora‘s Mikey Madison reportedly passed on earlier this year after a pay dispute. She will (according to THR) play one of a group of villains pursuing Gosling’s ace pilot and his young charge across the galaxy.

Yes, it sounds like it’s another of the ever-popular DILF-and-kid team-ups; with Baby Yoda been and done, place your bets now – Baby Ki-Adi-Mundi? Baby Oppo Rancisis? The merchandising opportunities will come at hyperspeed.

Star Wars: Starfighter is a standalone story set approximately five years after the last big-screen instalment, The Rise of Skywalker. It’s currently set for a release on 28 May 2027. Deadpool and Wolverine‘s Shawn Levy directs, with a script by Jonathan Tropper.

Before that, Mia Goth can next be seen in Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein and Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey.
