Ryan Gosling in talks for Star Wars movie from Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy

Published 1 month ago2 minute read

It looks like Ryan Gosling could be set for a trip to the galaxy far, far away, as Deadline is reporting that the star is in talks to join the cast of director Shawn Levy’s as-yet-untitled movie.

Levy, who is riding high after the blockbuster success of his Ryan Reynolds/Hugh Jackman Marvel combo last year, was first announced as developing a film back in late 2022 and has since been working on the script with his co-writer Jonathan Tropper. Gosling is the first actor to be linked with the project.

As with most things , details on Levy’s plans for the film are a closely guarded secret, although the filmmaker has previously called it a “standalone experience”, stating back in August of last year that: “There’s only so many times that  movies can revisit the same section of the timeline. I don’t want to do a  film that is redundant to others, nor am I interested in doing one that has to serve another movie.”

There are several feature film projects in the works at Lucasfilm, although so far only Jon Favreau’s has a confirmed release date of May 22nd 2026. There is however an as-yet-unrevealed movie dated for December 17th 2027, which Levy’s film will presumably fill if it is indeed now at the casting stage. 

Look for things to (hopefully) become a little clearer at in April, but in the meantime let us know if you’re excited about the prospect of Ryan Gosling and Shawn Levy teaming up for a Star Wars movie over on our social channels @FlickeringMyth
