Ryan Gosling in a galaxy far, far away. The actor is in negotiations to headline the next installment of the saga Star Warswhich will be signed Shaw Levy, the director of Deadpool & Wolverinereports the Hollywood Reporter this Tuesday, January 21.
We still don’t know what role Ken’s interpreter should play in Barbie – nor in what era of the saga this film will take place. Shawn Levy, who also produces this new feature film, has been writing the script for over a year with screenwriter Jonathan Tropper.
One thing is certain: this film led by Ryan Gosling will not be an episode of the Skywalker saga, which traces the history of Luke Skywalker’s family. This project must be an autonomous episode of the saga, insists the Hollywood Reporter.
Still according to the magazine, Ryan Gosling’s participation in the project makes it a priority for Lucasfilm, the company behind Star Wars. So filming could begin next fall.
