Matt Smith's Delayed Arrival on 'Star Wars: Starfighter' Set Raises Questions
7 Nov
Summary
- Matt Smith, the Eleventh Doctor, has not yet been on the 'Star Wars: Starfighter' set
- Smith's late arrival, nearly half a year after filming began, raises questions about his screen time
- Smith's character is reportedly a villain, following his near-miss for a role in 'The Rise of Skywalker'
As of November 7th, 2025, Matt Smith, the actor who portrayed the Eleventh Doctor, has not yet set foot on the set of the upcoming 'Star Wars: Starfighter' film. This is surprising, as the movie's principal photography began nearly half a year ago, with lead actor Ryan Gosling and his young co-star Flynn Gray already filming their scenes.
The delay in Smith's arrival on the 'Star Wars: Starfighter' set has sparked questions about the extent of his involvement in the film. It is not uncommon for some actors to join a production later in the process, but the fact that Smith will be absent for such a significant portion of the filming schedule suggests that his role may be relatively limited.
