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.

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

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 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.

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.

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.
