Shawn Levy, director of Deadpool and Wolverine, is reportedly in talks to helm a new Star Wars film, with Ryan Gosling potentially starring. The Hollywood Reporter broke the news that negotiations are underway to secure Gosling for the lead role. Levy has been developing this project since 2022, with a script completed last year. He's collaborating again with Jonathan Tropper, screenwriter for This Is Where I Leave You and The Adam Project.
Plot details remain tightly under wraps. The only confirmed information is that the film will be a standalone story, unrelated to the Skywalker Saga, and likely not part of a larger trilogy.

Gosling's potential involvement has reportedly expedited the project's timeline. While Levy was previously attached to direct a boy band film starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, THR suggests that Gosling's casting could prioritize the Star Wars movie, pushing production to begin this fall.
The Star Wars franchise is currently undergoing a transition. Following the cancellation of The Acolyte, Skeleton Crew recently concluded its run on Disney+. On the film front, Dave Filoni's Mandalorian and Grogu movie completed filming in December, slated for release on May 22, 2026. A new trilogy focusing on Daisy Ridley's Rey is also in the works.
A release date for Levy's Star Wars film remains unannounced, pending the project's advancement. For a comprehensive overview of upcoming Star Wars content, consult our preview of Star Wars in 2025.
