In what is perhaps a stunning little bit of casting information, Ken himself Ryan Gosling is seemingly in talks to star in Shawn Levy’s Star Wars flick.
Over the course of its a few years of existence, Star Wars has usually leaned within the course of casting largely unknown/ up-and-coming actors. That is true for the unique trilogy, barely much less so for the prequels, and positively so for the fashionable trilogy. So, listening to from The Hollywood Reporter that Ryan Gosling of all actors is probably up for a job in Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy’s Star Wars film does come as a bit of little bit of a shock. It isn’t like Star Wars is an entire stranger to large names nowadays, Skeleton Crew has Jude Legislation, the fashionable trilogy had Laura Dern, neither of that are precisely small names.
Gosling is clearly an enormous identify now, already broadly identified within the 2000s for his position in The Pocket book, but additionally later the star of massive blockbusters like Blade Runner 2049 and Barbie. You could possibly perhaps even argue that he has too well-known of a face for a world like Star Wars, there’s positively a priority that you just may see him and suppose “cling on, this cannot be a galaxy far, distant as a result of that is Ryan Gosling!” Nonetheless, he does not look like signed on simply but, and it is not even clear what his position can be.
Particulars are fairly scant on Levy’s entry within the sci-fi universe, we all know he is been engaged on it since 2022, and that Jonathan Tropper (who Levy labored with on This Is The place I Go away You and The Adam Undertaking) has been engaged on the script for round a yr. Levy himself clearly solely simply added to a different large Disney-owned universe with final yr’s Deadpool & Wolverine within the MCU, so he is clearly protecting himself loads busy. Now we simply have to attend and see which Star Wars film that is at present within the works comes out first (it’s going to in all probability be The Mandalorian & Grogu, however issues can all the time change).
