Ryan Gosling to join Shawn Levy’s ‘Star Wars’ as lead actor

Ryan Gosling
  • Ryan Gosling is reportedly in discussions to join the Star Wars universe.
  • Shawn Levy has been quietly developing a new Star Wars project.
  • Levy’s plans might see a shift with Gosling potentially coming on board.

Ryan Gosling is reportedly in discussions to join the Star Wars universe as lead actor, with Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy at the helm.

Levy has been quietly developing a new Star Wars project for over two years, collaborating with writer Jonathan Tropper since July 2024. The duo previously worked together on This Is Where I Leave You and The Adam Project.

The film, which will be produced under Levy’s 21 Laps banner alongside Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy, is expected to be a standalone story within the Star Wars universe.

While plot details remain under wraps, sources confirm that the movie will be a self-contained narrative.

Levy’s plans might see a shift with Gosling, 44, potentially coming on board. The director was reportedly eyeing a boy band comedy featuring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, but Gosling’s interest could push the Star Wars project forward.

With Gosling in talks, production could move ahead sooner than expected. Meanwhile, the highly anticipated The Mandalorian and Grogu film is set for release on May 22, 2026.

Ryan Gosling Denied Role To Mark Wahlberg Due To Overweight

Ryan Gosling

Ryan Gosling, known for his role as Ken in Greta Gerwig’s Barbie, which has been a hit since its July 21 release, has a rich acting career that includes notable projects like Crazy, Stupid, Love, Blue Valentine, The Notebook, and La La Land. Despite his successes, like any actor, Gosling has experienced roles he either turned down or lost. One such role was that of Jack Salmon in Peter Jackson’s The Lovely Bones, a 2009 adaptation of Alice Sebold’s novel.

The film revolves around Susie Salmon (Saoirse Ronan), a young girl killed by a neighbour, and her journey in the afterlife. Gosling was initially set to play Susie’s father, Jack, who tirelessly searches for her. To prepare for the role, Gosling gained 60 pounds, envisioning Jack as a larger man. However, days before filming was to begin, he was removed from the project. The reason was a difference in the vision of Jack’s appearance between Gosling and Jackson. Jackson believed Jack should appear differently from what Gosling imagined.

According to Gosling, the lack of effective communication during pre-production and Jackson’s busy schedule led to misunderstandings. Gosling’s version of events indicates that his weight gain led to his removal from the role. However, Fran Walsh, Jackson’s wife and collaborator, had a different perspective. She noted that Gosling had expressed doubts about the role’s suitability for him due to age, and they had discussed ageing him up. Ultimately, they realized Gosling wasn’t the best fit for the role and decided to cast Mark Wahlberg instead.

While losing a role is a common occurrence in the industry, Gosling’s career continued to flourish after The Lovely Bones incident. Barbie’s success reaffirms his versatile talents beyond just his portrayal of Ken.

Barbie’ Sequel In Progress With Margot Robbie & Ryan Gosling?

Barbie

The Barbie film, featuring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, has achieved immense success in its opening week, raising questions about the possibility of a sequel to the Greta Gerwig-directed movie.

As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, the film is on the verge of reaching the remarkable milestone of $1 billion at the worldwide box office, having surpassed $900 million by August 3, 2023.

Beyond its box office triumph, the movie has become a cultural phenomenon, thanks to its clever marketing strategies.

Meanwhile, Paramount Pictures has already announced a sequel to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem a week prior to its theatrical release.

However, the fate of a Barbie sequel hangs in the balance due to a significant reason. The writers and actors are currently on strike, leading to a halt in major production and promotion of any projects. The Barbie movie falls under Warner Bros.’ umbrella, which has also been severely impacted by the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike. Should the opportunity for a sequel arise, THR reports that it might not see the return of Robbie, Gosling, or even the critically-acclaimed director, Greta Gerwig.

In an interview with the New York Times, Gerwig expressed uncertainty about the possibility of a second movie, stating, “At this moment, it’s all I’ve got. I feel like that at the end of every movie, like I’ll never have another idea and everything I’ve ever wanted to do, I did. I wouldn’t want to squash anybody else’s dream but for me, at this moment, I’m at totally zero.”

Furthermore, Robbie is not obligated to reprise her titular role but may return as a producer if she chooses. On the other hand, Gosling has no deal for a sequel.

Eva Mendes Receives Praise For Making Strict Rules For Daughters

Eva Mendes

Eva Mendes recently disclosed her parenting philosophy concerning social media, reaffirming her commitment to keeping their family life private.

Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling have made a conscious decision to keep their personal lives, as well as their daughters’ lives, away from the public eye. Esmeralda Amada, 8, and Amada Lee, 7, are their two daughters, born in 2011 when the couple first met on the set of The Place Beyond the Pines.

Taking to Instagram, Mendes shared a GIF of herself nodding her head and gesturing “no,” with the caption, “When my kids ask me if they’re old enough to go on the internet, social media or anything requiring wifi.” This post sparked a lot of inquiries and praise, to which she openly responded in the comments section, offering further context on her stance regarding children and social media.

A post shared by Eva Mendes (@evamendes)

One fan asked about the age at which she would allow her kids to use the internet and social media, to which Eva honestly replied, “Honestly I don’t know.” She explained, “I’ll have to see where it goes – for now, I’m observing them and keeping up with research about how social media can impact a child’s brain,” and added, “I’m taking it stage by stage.”

Another fan pointed out that in the internet age, everyone may eventually need or want to access the internet, but Eva countered, “Yes true, but in my house, children do not have access to the internet. It’s too dangerous.” She likened it to other activities, like drinking, voting, or getting a driver’s license, that are not allowed for children.

When a fan suggested that perhaps when the children turn 18, they could have access to the internet, Eva seemed to like the idea and responded with a “Yup!” followed by a red heart emoji.

Ryan Gosling’s ‘Oscar Worthy’ Performance Steals Hearts In ‘Barbie’

Ryan Gosling

The role of Ryan Gosling as Ken in “Barbie” has captured the hearts of many fans, leading to calls for the Canadian actor to receive an Oscar nomination for his outstanding performance.

Several Twitter users expressed their support for the 42-year-old actor, urging him to be considered for the prestigious award. One reviewer described “Barbie” as, “Barbie looks camp right in the eye and turns it into a post-modern meta exploration of existentialism, feminism, the patriarchy and masculinity packaged in a satirical musical comedy homage to the fabric of cinema. It is *the* movie of our time. Ryan Gosling, the Oscar is yours.”

Another fan wrote, “Ryan Gosling’s performance as Ken was oscar worthy. One of my biggest doubt was him but I’m glad he proved me wrong. He stole the show for me! Margot Robbie, ofc, fantastic as always. She looked like an actual Barbie the entire movie. The Kens dancing sequence was just wow!”

A different enthusiast penned, “Barbie is currently my favorite film of the year. Greta Gerwig somehow exceeded my expectations. She tackles the positives and negatives of Barbie so beautifully. Give Ryan Gosling an Oscar nomination, I’m dead serious!”

Despite having received two previous Oscar nominations for “Half Nelson” in 2007 and “La La Land” in 2017, fans remain hopeful that Gosling will secure another nomination for his exceptional depiction of Ken in “Barbie.”

Embracing Ken Energy: Ryan Gosling’s Top 10 Essentials Revealed

Ryan Gosling

Ryan Gosling, known for his roles in hit films like “La La Land” and “Drive,” recently took the spotlight to share his top 10 “Kencentials” – essential items to embrace the spirit of Ken, Barbie’s iconic companion.

In a humorous video for GQ, Gosling playfully presented the must-have items that define the elusive “Kenergy” of Ken. Here are some of the quotes highlighting his amusing recommendations:

  1. The lightning headband, a crucial accessory that serves both form and function for aspiring Kens.
  2. Carry at least two pairs of sunglasses at all times, a prominent spot on Gosling’s list.
  3. A Ken clutch, resembling the packaging Kens are sold in, reminding us to break free from societal expectations and embody Ken’s full potential.
  4. “Watches symbolize busyness and importance. Even if Kens might not always have a jam-packed schedule, the significance of appearing busy and purposeful upholds the Ken persona.
  5. Books are essential props for Kens to create an illusion of having varied interests.
  6. As a self-proclaimed beach Ken, a surfboard is necessary to establish scale and portray a human-sized Ken.
  7. Roller blades are a whimsical addition to the list, and Gosling insists on carrying them at all times, echoing Barbie’s inquiry, ‘Did you bring your roller blades?’
  8. Ken underwear, featuring Gosling’s name boldly written, makes it to the list to keep his name in the mix.
  9. A faux mink coat is an item capable of defining Kens when their thoughts, experiences, or accomplishments fall short.
  10. The stylish Ken fanny pack, adorned with Ken’s name in Metallica font, makes the cut due to its versatility.

Gosling concluded his list with a heartfelt reminder of the supportive role Kens play in the life of every great Barbie. He expressed embracing the role of “just Ken,” standing by Barbie’s side whenever she needs it. The presentation, delivered with Gosling’s signature humor and wit, offered an amusing glimpse into the world of Kens.

Ryan Gosling Reveals The Truth Behind Ken’s Existence In Barbie

Ryan Gosling

Ryan Gosling discussed his portrayal of Ken in the highly anticipated Hollywood movie “Barbie,” revealing that the character was designed to complement the main character.

In an interview with Outlook India, the renowned actor, known for his role in “The Notebook,” delved into Ken’s complex persona in the film, describing it as an “existential hell” with no distinct “identity” of its own. Gosling shared, “My Ken was created to just observe the awesomeness that is Barbie, and there’s even a line in the film when he says he only exists within the warmth of Barbie’s gaze.”

Gosling explained that Ken’s existence is tethered to the job assigned to him, which is simply to be at the beach. While he is eager to excel in this role, he finds himself grappling with uncertainties about what it truly entails.

Elaborating on Ken’s motivations, the actor revealed that the driving force behind his decision to embark on the journey with Barbie is the belief that he is her boyfriend, despite the absence of concrete evidence of any special connection between them. Their relationship is defined by their status as a set, and this is why Ken cannot fathom the idea of Barbie leaving without him.

When reflecting on the script of the movie, directed by Greta Gerwig, Gosling expressed his admiration for its unique blend of elements, encompassing humor and tragedy, as well as profundity and absurdity. He found it reminiscent of the things he cherished while growing up, yet still unlike anything he had ever encountered before.

Mark Ronson Says He Felt Sympathetic To Ken In ‘Barbie’

Mark Ronson

Mark Ronson was so taken by Ken from the upcoming Barbie film that he wrote an entire song about it.

I’m just Ken is sung by Ryan Gosling’s character in the film, and it resonates as a rock ballad with an emo tinge. In an interview, Ronson explained that while he felt empathetic towards the character, he wasn’t sure if it would play a key role in the Greta Gerwig-directed film.

“You really fall in love with this hapless, but instantly sympathetic figure,” Ronson said of the song’s inspiration. “I had this idea for this lyric right away: ‘I’m just Ken / Anywhere else I’d be a 10’.” It just seemed amusing. It felt a little melancholy, like this unfortunate guy. He’s so attractive, but he can’t get a date.”

The seven-time Grammy winner went on to say that he did not expect the song to be so warmly accepted by Gerwig that she will alter a crucial scene to accommodate it.

Furthermore, when Ronson wrote the phrase “Is it my destiny to live and die a life of blond fragility?” he had no idea Gosling would be singing it.

When he heard the song, the La La Land actor fell in love with the concept and insisted on turning it into an emotional ballad.

Furthermore, Ronson included his “all-time hero” Slash and new Foo Fighters drummer Josh Freese on the track.

In a recently released trailer for the film, Gosling shows off his excellent vocals as he bellows out the song, while also nailing his comedic timing well.

“I’m just Ken,” Gosling sings in the preview as the Ken to Margot Robbie’s Barbie. “Where I see love, she sees a friend. What will it take for her to see the man behind the tan and fight for me?”
