Ryan Gosling and extremely iconic movie jackets have a history. Drive gave him the satin scorpion jacket that launched a thousand Halloween costumes, and Blade Runner 2049 put him in a shearling coat that somehow made wandering around a miserable dystopian wasteland look fashionable. Now, for the upcoming Star Wars: Starfighter, he has apparently decided the man needs another piece of outerwear I desperately want, and this one comes with a fantastic Rebel Alliance twist.
Gosling showed off the jacket during Disney's D23 showcase in Anaheim, where director Shawn Levy officially introduced his Starfighter character, Kade Auberon. The presentation began with an adorable nod to his Disney past and his days on The Mickey Mouse Club, complete with a throwback-style MMC jacket. Then Levy helped him swap it for a jacket inspired by the one Kade wears in the upcoming Star Wars movie. The handoff was captured on TikTok by The Moment Lab and can be seen below.
