Levy, 56, has been working on the Star Wars movie for over two years and is writing with Jonathan Tropper, who joined the project in July 2024. The two previously worked on This Is Where I Leave You and The Adam Project. Levy will produce through his 21 Laps banner alongside Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy.

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

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.

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.
