Shawn Levy is directing a Star Wars standalone movie starring Ryan Gosling. Gosling's involvement indicates a major casting shift for the Star Wars franchise. Disney hopes Gosling's star power will increase interest and potentially revive the movie side of the franchise.

Shawn Levy might have found the lead for his Star Wars movie. Ryan Gosling is in negotiations to join the Star Wars universe.

Little is known about Levy's project, but it could send the Blade Runner and Barbie star to, well, the stars. The future of Star Wars movies is always in an uncertain level of motion, but one of the most mysterious projects among the many mysterious projects Lucasfilm has cooking at the moment might have just taken a major step forward.

There is a lot of pressure on Levy to deliver something special after several misfires in the Star Wars universe recently, with the most recent trilogy not connecting with everyone. While lots of information is still under wraps about the movie, a positive detail is emerging.

Ryan Gosling is headed to the great galaxy far, far away. In a Star Wars shocker, the three-time Oscar nominee is in negotiations to topline the Star Wars feature project that will be directed by Deadpool & Wolverine filmmaker Shawn Levy.

Canadian actor Ryan Gosling is in negotiations to star in a new “Star Wars” stand-alone film directed by Shawn Levy and penned by screenwriter Jonathan Tropper.

Ryan Gosling could be set to star in Shawn Levy's 'Star Wars' film. Zoe Saldaña has lit up some of the most otherworldly sci-fi epics of our time. But with her performance in the musical Emilia Pérez, the Golden Globe winner finally gets to reveal the very human source of that power.

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.
