Currently, Lucasfilm is preparing for a major return to the big screen, beginning withThe Mandalorian & Groguin 2026. However, there are plenty of other movies in development as well, and one in particular could be very exciting for Evans.

Now, rumors have begun to spark online, suggesting the time may have finally come.If true, there’s one upcomingStar Warsmovie that would be perfect for Chris Evans, as it would lead to a fantastic reunion.

Either As Friends or Foes In Star Wars: Starfighter
Currently, the nextStar Warsmovie with a confirmed release date afterThe Mandalorian & GroguisStar Wars: Starfighterin 2027. While we don’t know much about the upcoming movie set five years afterThe Rise of Skywalker, we know it will be directed byDeadpool & Wolverine’sShawn Levy with Ryan Gosling as the lead and Mia Goth as an antagonist.
To that end, it could be very exciting to see Chris Evans and Gosling reunite on-screenfollowing the Russo Brothers’TheGray Manin 2022. In the action-thriller, Gosling was a CIA agent on the run from Evans' sociopathic ex-CIA mercenary.Even as rivals, the duo had some pretty entertaining chemistry that could be very fun to see inStarfighter, especially if they were pilots pitted against each other.
Conversely, Chris Evans as Ryan Gosling’s wingman would be just as exciting, too. However, it’s worth noting that there have also beenrumors suggestingStarfighterwill have a second villain beyond Goth. Perhaps the role might belong to Evans.
