Attention, Star Wars fans! A new high-profile figure from Hollywood is reportedly about to join the list of actors who have worked for the universe created by George Lucas. According to several specialized media outlets, actor Ryan Gosling is very close to arriving in a galaxy far, far away.
According to what The Hollywood Reporter reported, the Barbie actor could be about to star in the new movie of the saga directed by Shawn Levy, who recently directed Deadpool & Wolverine.
What is known about the Star Wars movie that would star Ryan Gosling?
According to the news agency EFE, Levy has been working on a project of the famous saga for two years, alongside the screenwriter Jonathan Tropper. They have previously worked together on This is where I leave you (2014) and the more or less successful The Adam Project (2022) for Netflix.
So far, very little is known about this new movie which, according to reports, would not be linked to the Skywalker saga, but instead will be "an independent project" in the form of a trilogy.
The Hollywood Reporter stated that if Gosling reaches an agreement and confirms his participation, the project in question will become the next Star Wars film to enter production, with cameras starting to roll within a year.
One of the most anticipated productions of the galactic saga is the movie The Mandalorian and Grogu, whom the audience barely met a few years ago with the successful Disney+ series ‘The Mandalorian’, which sparked a renewed interest in the Lucasfilm franchise. The filming of this film, also starring Pedro Pascal, concluded in December 2024 and its release in theaters is expected in May 2026.
