Ryan Gosling is reportedly in negotiations to star in a new standalone Star Wars film directed by Shawn Levy. The project has been in development since 2022 and will be separate from the Skywalker Saga, exploring new territory within the franchise.
Levy’s involvement appears to have accelerated production, with cameras potentially rolling soon. Gosling’s casting is not surprising, as his name was previously mentioned for a role in the franchise dating back to 2013. The film will mark a rare occasion where an A-list actor leads a Star Wars installment, following in the footsteps of launching new talent.
The project is currently in development under Levy’s 21 Laps banner alongside Kathleen Kennedy and Lucasfilm, with no release date announced yet.
