Industry insider MyTimeToShineHello shared the report on X, saying, “Dave Bautista has been cast in a Star Wars project.” Star Wars: Starfighter, directed by Shawn Levy, is currently scheduled to hit theaters on May 28, 2027. There's also Simon Kinberg developing a new Star Wars trilogy that has reportedly been envisioned as Episodes 10 through 12 of the Skywalker Saga. Disney and Lucasfilm haven't announced Bautista as part of any Star Wars project, and we don't know what role he might be playing. But if Dave Bautista really has joined Star Wars, I'm definitely curious to see what Lucasfilm has planned for him.
