Ryan Gosling, known for his roles in movies like La La Land, Blade Runner 2049, and Barbie, is reportedly in talks to star in a new Star Wars movie. If all goes well, this could mark a big moment in his career, as Gosling steps into the famous Star Wars universe, which has thrilled audiences for decades.
The exciting news comes as Ryan Gosling, who has mostly avoided big franchise roles, could soon appear in a film directed by Shawn Levy. Levy is known for his work on the Deadpool and Wolverine movies, and he is currently working on an untitled Star Wars film. This film has been in the works since late 2022, with Jonathan Tropper writing the script. Tropper has worked on popular films and shows like The Adam Project and This Is Where I Leave You.
What makes this upcoming Star Wars project even more interesting is that it won’t be part of the main Skywalker Saga. The Skywalker Saga wrapped up with The Rise of Skywalker in 2019, so this film will explore new characters and stories in the Star Wars galaxy.
If Gosling officially joins the cast, this will be his first Star Wars film, which would be a big shift for him. While many of his fellow actors have already starred in major movie franchises, Ryan has largely stayed away from them, preferring roles in critically acclaimed films. He has starred in movies that are loved by critics and audiences alike, like Drive and The Notebook, but he took a different turn recently in Barbie. In that film, Gosling played Ken, bringing his own humor, charm, and even a bit of existential angst to the character.
His performance in Barbie proved that he can shine in big, blockbuster roles, making this new Star Wars film an exciting next step in his career. Along with this potential Star Wars role, Gosling is also set to star in another high-profile movie, Project Hail Mary, a sci-fi thriller based on the bestselling book by Andy Weir.
For now, fans are eagerly waiting to hear whether Gosling officially joins the Star Wars movie. The idea of him wielding a lightsaber has already caused quite a buzz among Star Wars fans, who are excited to see how he might fit into this legendary universe. Whatever happens, it’s clear that Ryan Gosling’s career is heading into exciting new territory, and his move into the Star Wars galaxy could be one of his most thrilling projects yet.
