The upcoming “Star Wars: Starfighter” will feature at least one or two shots filmed by none other than Tom Cruise.
“Deadpool & Wolverine” filmmaker Shawn Levy spoke with The New York Times recently and revealed that Tom Cruise showed up on the film’s set (via helicopter) in November.
Cruise was just there to watch as they were setting up a scene involving a lightsaber duel in the water. Levy suggested Cruise jump on one of the cameras as a joke, but Cruise took it seriously and was soon wading ankle deep into a muddy pond with the camera and “ruining his very nice shoes”.
Levy says: “Now when you see the movie you’ll know that part of it was shot by Tom. I mean, how cool is that?”
Filming on the project wrapped in December. Ryan Gosling, Flynn Gray, Matt Smith, Mia Goth, Amy Adams, Aaron Pierre, Simon Bird, Jamael Westman, Daniel Ings, and Eva Mendes co-star in the film dubbed an all-new standalone adventure and entirely original story set several years after the events of “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker”.
“Star Wars: Starfighter” is due out in cinemas in May 2027.
