Actor Matt Smith, best known as the heroic Doctor on BBC's Doctor Who, is about to join another venerable sci-fi franchise as Deadline reports he'll take the role of the unnamed villain in Deadpool & Wolverine director Sean Levy's upcoming Star Wars: Starfighter film, which stars Ryan Gosling as a spacebound fighter pilot.
According to the trade, Lucasfilm wasn't reached for comment on the potential casting, so there's still some wiggle room for things not to work out. That said, Smith would be an interesting Star Wars villain.
