Ryan Gosling might just be trading Malibu Dreamhouses for the galaxy far, far away! Yes, the 44-year-old Barbie heartthrob is reportedly in negotiations to bring his swoon-worthy charm to the Star Wars franchise. As per a THR report, Gosling is in talks to lead a new Star Wars movie directed by Shawn Levy, a man who clearly knows how to make blockbuster magic happen.
Who Will Gosling Play? Space Ken, Perhaps?
No one knows who Ryan would play just yet. A lightsaber-wielding Jedi? A rogue smuggler with an impeccable jawline? Or maybe a droid whose sole function is to look absurdly good while giving side-eye? The possibilities are endless. For now, the Star Wars casting team is keeping their secrets tighter than the location of the Death Star’s weak spot.
Director Shawn Levy Has Been Plotting This Since 2022
The man behind Deadpool and The Adam Project has been quietly scheming his Star Wars takeover for a while now. With longtime collaborator Jonathan Tropper chipping away at the script for over a year, this project has been cooking low and slow—like the perfect galactic stew. And now, with Gosling potentially in the mix, it’s shaping up to be the filet mignon of space sagas.
Where Does This Fit in the Star Wars Timeline? Nobody Knows!
Here’s what we do know: Shawn Levy’s movie isn’t going to touch the Luke Skywalker saga. Nope, this is a standalone adventure, completely unconnected to the galaxy’s most famous farm boy. Could it be a romantic comedy set in Mos Eisley? A musical where stormtroopers finally learn to shoot straight? Anything is possible when Levy and Gosling are involved.
Timing is Everything
Sources have hinted that Gosling’s negotiations are happening late in the game, which is basically Hollywood code for “everyone is frantically texting their agents.” If this deal goes through, production could kick off as early as this fall. Meanwhile, The Mandalorian wrapped up back in December, leaving Star Wars fans eagerly counting down the days until Grogu graces our screens again in May 2026.
Final Thoughts: Kenobi, Who?
If Ryan Gosling officially signs on, one thing is clear: the galaxy far, far away is about to get a lot more dreamy. Imagine him striding into the cantina, smirking at alien bartenders, and making everyone forget about Luke, Leia, and even Baby Yoda (sorry, Grogu). Whether he’s wielding a lightsaber or just his killer smolder, Gosling joining Star Wars is a late but very welcome plot twist in the ever-expanding franchise.
Stay tuned, this might just be the most handsome thing to happen to Star Wars since Han Solo first smirked his way into our hearts.
