Barbie star Ryan Gosling is reportedly in talks to lead the cast of Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy's new Star Wars project. If confirmed, Gosling would be the untitled movie's first official cast member.

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.

After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
