Inside reports on Ryan Gosling’s future in Shawn Levy’s ‘Star Wars’ movie.

Fresh off his roles in Barbie and The Fall Guy, Gosling will be the first actor to join the galaxy far, far away in Levy’s still-untitled film.

Shawn Levy recently found commercial success with 2024’s “Deadpool & Wolverine,” and it looks like he’s looking to replicate the magic in a galaxy far, far away. Doing so won’t be easy, as there hasn’t been a “Star Wars” movie in theaters since 2019, when “The Rise of Skywalker” concluded the 9-episode Skywalker Saga, starting in 1977 with “A New.” “Hopefully.”

Levy’s “Star Wars” movie was first announced for release in 2022, with Jonathan Tropper, his collaborator on “The Adam Project,” set to write the script. It is not clear where or when the project is being placed, however Hollywood Reporter They revealed that it was supposed to be a standalone film when they announced Gosling’s casting.

Gosling might actually be a strong choice for the role, as he recently finished filming another space movie: Phil Lord and Chris Miller’s “Project Hail Mary.”

Like many movies and TV shows, Shawn Levy was forced to halt work on his “Star Wars” project due to the WGA writer’s strike. In September 2023, Levy revealed that he was forced to take a hiatus from the Lucasfilm project while promoting his Netflix limited series “All The Light We Cannot See”.

During an interview in Collider’s TIFF media studio“We had just started the development process on my film, and the writers’ strike happened,” he told reporter Steve Weintraub, adding: “So we’re in this stalled mode that a lot of our industry is in.”

The gap also hurt the Real Steel chain. “I still, like I told you, want it as badly as Real Steel fans want it, very much alive, but paused,” he added.

In a December 2022 interview with ColliderLevy revealed that he was speaking with the president of Lucasfilm Kathleen Kennedy “For a while now” he has been around making a “Star Wars” film but admitted that “there is a lot of work to be done” before his script makes it to the big screen.

“Yes. I’m very aware of the percentage of filmmakers who make it to the starting line. You know, Steve, I’m a student of this field, and of course I notice it,” Levy said at the time. “But this is my position: I have this golden ticket to the galaxy. “Far away, I will devote myself to developing a script that will give me the privilege of making this film.”

“I don’t get attached to things because they look good in a commercial. I get attached to things I intend to make. And you better believe I’m not going to waste these amazing opportunities. “I’m going to do my job. But first, I have to put my best effort into making Deadpool. So it’s definitely long-term planning, but I want to be one of the films that gets to the starting line because these are rare opportunities, and I want to make the most of them.

“I’ve been talking to Cathy Kennedy for a while, and she’s known about my passion for this franchise for a long time. The stars finally aligned, and she came to me and said, ‘Let’s do something here,'” he added. “And that’s all I can say.” But this is definitely a development and is not yet close to being ready. So there is a lot of work to be done.”

In an interesting development, Ryan Gosling has almost starred in Wolf Man, the latest Universal Pictures and Blumhouse monster movie. There were a lot of changes made from the film’s announcement to its release, including a change in director.

Although Gosling is still credited as a producer, his starring role as Blake was eventually given to Christopher Abbott of “Kraven the Hunter” and “Poor Things.” In an interview with Cinema BlindDirector Leigh Whannell revealed that the changes in the lead actor all came down to scheduling.

“It’s almost the same thing. It was really, you know… when I was working with Ryan, it was the similar story that you see now. It was the isolation, the same characters. It’s been a lot of time ‘By, there were these hits and all these things happened “Things,” Whannell explained, “all of a sudden Ryan’s schedule changed, but I’m glad we got Christopher Abbott, he’s so great in the role and better than I could have hoped for.”

‘Star Wars’ fans expressed surprise that Gosling’s schedule would remain free to allow him to leave his mark on a galaxy far, far away!
