Claudio Miranda’s Work
Miranda is an Oscar-winning cinematographer best known for Life of Pi. His credits also include Oblivion, Top Gun: Maverick, Tron: Legacy, and F1.
Star Wars: Starfighter release info
The new film from director Shawn Levy and Lucasfilm stars Ryan Gosling, Amy Adams, Matt Smith, Mia Goth, Aaron Pierre, Simon Bird, Jamael Westman, Daniel Ings, and Flynn Gray. Production is underway in the U.K., with a theatrical release set for May 28, 2027.
Bringing Claudio Miranda on board as the cinematographer makes sense as the story is said to be about Ryan Gosling as a fighter pilot who protects a young boy across a galaxy-spanning adventure.
