Sources confirm that Ryan Gosling is in talks to star in a new Star Wars movie directed by Shawn Levy. The project is said to be unconnected to the Skywalker Saga and details about the plot are scarce.
Landing a project for a new Star Wars film is proving to be more challenging than acquiring plans for an orbital planet killer, and this one is no exception. Sources close to the project say that director Shawn Levy has been developing his story for years, with his histories spanning hundreds of years, detailing the rise and fall of a galactic republic turned dictatorship and then into a rebellion.
It’s unclear if the narrative involves Jedi and their Sith adversaries, but it is confirmed to be unconnected to the so-called Skywalker Saga, the stories centered on the well-established and beloved characters Luke Skywalker and his father, Anakin. The development of the Gosling project is said to be a late addition to Levy’s movie schedule. The filmmaker was initially considering directing a boy band movie set up at Paramount, which would have reunited him with Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman. However, Gosling's sudden interest and involvement have propelled the project forward at an astonishing pace. If a deal is finalized, the project is expected to move quickly, becoming not only Levy’s next film but also the next feature to bring aboard a major A-lister.The original Star Wars trilogy featured up-and-coming actors and British veterans, transforming Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, and Carrie Fisher into household names. The prequels followed a similar approach, introducing a new generation of talent. Even in the Disney era, J.J. Abrams introduced a fresh crop of rising stars while also bringing back the original cast members. In 2013, rumors circulated online suggesting that Levy was being considered by J.J. Abrams for a familial role in the Star Wars universe, a role that may have eventually evolved into Kylo Ren, alongside Zac Efron.
