A new report claims that Ryan Gosling—yes that very famous one from Barbie—is in negotiations to star in an upcoming Star Wars movie from Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy. And it sounds like his involvement has sent the project into hyperspace at Lucasfilm.

Deadpool and Wolverine' director Shawn Levy just brought a major talent aboard his standalone Star Wars movie.

And this, you feel, is why Ryan Gosling will be the perfect man to take the lead in a Levy film. He has that Ford ability to combine humour and heavy charisma, as seen when the pair matched up in Blade Runner 2049. You have a sense of him operating with a self-aware twinkle in his eye, knowing he’s a pretty boy whilst also undercutting it.

Ryan Gosling may be leaving Barbie Land for a galaxy far, far away. According to recent reports, Gosling is in talks to star in an untitled Star Wars movie from Shawn Levy, who's known for helming the blockbuster Deadpool & Wolverine.

Ryan Gosling is reportedly in talks to join Levy’s film, and his involvement was enough to pull the director away from an upcoming project that would’ve got the Deadpool & Wolverine band back together. Not only that, but there’s a rush to make this thing yesterday.

If the deal makes, this would send the project into hyperdrive after two years of development and make it the next 'Star Wars' movie to go into production.

Ryan Gosling ( Barbie, Fall Guy ) is confirmed to be in talks to join Shawn Levy ’s Star Wars movie at Lucasfilm. Levy has been developing the film with writer Jonathan Tropper for two years, and it’s been rumored that the project could start production as early as this fall.
