Ryan Gosling Is in Talks To Lead Shawn Levy’s Standalone ‘Star Wars’ Movie
Production could possibly begin this fall.
Ryan Gosling may soon trade his “Kenergy” for a lightsaber, as reports suggest he’s in talks to star in Shawn Levy’s highly anticipated standalone Star Wars movie.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Levy – best known for directing Deadpool & Wolverine and Free Guy - has been developing this Star Wars project since 2022. The film is reportedly a self-contained story within the Star Wars universe, unaffiliated with the Skywalker Saga. While details about the plot and setting remain under wraps, the timeline could span from the early days of the Galactic Republic to the aftermath of the Battle of Exegol.
If Gosling officially signs on, production could potentially begin as early as fall 2025. This would make Levy’s film the next Star Wars project to go into production following The Mandalorian & Grogu, which is slated for release on May 22, 2026.
While specifics about Gosling’s character and the film’s narrative is unclear at the time of writing, one thing is clear: the Force is strong with this collaboration.
