Ryan Gosling in Talks for Lead Role in Shawn Levy's Star Wars Film

The rumored standalone project would mark Lucasfilm’s first Star Wars movie in production since 2019’s The Rise of Skywalker.

Ryan Gosling is reportedly negotiating to star in a standalone Star Wars film directed by Shawn Levy, known for his work on Deadpool and Wolverine.
The project is separate from the Skywalker Saga and will feature a script by Jonathan Tropper, a frequent collaborator with Levy.
If Gosling joins, the film is expected to prioritize production in 2025, potentially beginning filming this fall.
Fans have expressed mixed reactions online, with some praising Gosling's potential involvement but voicing concerns about Levy’s directorial style.
Lucasfilm has struggled to release new Star Wars films since 2019, with several other projects in development but no confirmed release dates.
