Didn't see this one coming but news is coming in that Ryan Gosling is in talks to star in director Shawn Levy's Star Wars movie. The deal is still ongoing but if it comes together, it will fast track the project after two years of development, and make it the next Star Wars movie to go into production.
Plot details are still scarce, but Levy has been developing his Star Wars film since 2022 and Jonathan Tropper, who collaborated with Levy on films such as This is Where I Leave You and The Adam Project, has been working on a script for over a year. It is meant to be a standalone movie.
Gosling's interest in the project is a late-in-the-game move for Levy’s movie schedule. The filmmaker was looking to direct a boy band movie set up at Paramount, which would have reunited him with Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman. But Gosling’s interest and involvement suddenly shifted the Star Wars project into the starting position. If a deal makes, the project would become not only Levy’s next movie but also the next Star Wars movie to go into production, with cameras potentially rolling this fall. The Mandalorian and Grogu wrapped in mid-December and will be released on May 22, 2026.
