His job was beach. Now, it’s space.
Ryan Gosling, Barbie’s scene-stealing Ken and the immensely
likeable star of such films as The Notebook, The Big Short, Drive,
Blade Runner 2049 and La La Land, is in talks to star in Shawn
Levy’s upcoming Star Wars film, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Coming off the $1.3 billion success of Deadpool &
Wolverine, Levy will helm a feature set in that galaxy far, far away that will
reportedly have no connection to the Skywalker Saga. The as-yet-unnamed film
has been in development for two years and will go into production this year,
being the next in an increasingly long list of potential Star Wars films
that have yet to (kyber) crystallize. It would follow the release of The
Mandalorian & Grogu, which is set to hit theaters in May 2026.
I’m always on board for more Star Wars, and Gosling
is always fun to watch, but it’s going to be a real heartbreaker if this never
sees the light of day. After all, where’s the Rey movie, the James Mangold “first
Jedi” project, the rumored Episodes X-XII, and all the other films that
have been announced/teased for the past 5 years? When it comes to Star Wars
at the movies, I can only quote Yoda: “Impossible to see, the future is.”
