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.

Actor Ryan Gosling is reportedly in talks to star in Shawn Levy's Star Wars movie, which could be set to start filming as early as this year.

Per The Hollywood Reporter, Levy's Star Wars project has been in development since 2022, with frequent collaborator Jonathan Tropper penning the script. Gosling, of course, shot to stardom with the 2004 rom-dram The Notebook and much more recently dazzled as Ken in Barbie, which earned him a nod for Best Supporting Actor at The Academy Awards.
