Ryan Gosling in Talks for Standalone Star Wars Film—Will He Join a Galaxy Far, Far Away?
Hold onto your lightsabers, Star Wars fans! Hollywood heartthrob Ryan Gosling is reportedly in talks to star in a standalone Star Wars film—and we are obsessed! Could we be seeing the Blade Runner 2049 and Barbie star step into the world of Jedi, Sith, and epic space battles?
Ryan Gosling’s Potential Journey to the Star Wars Universe
According to industry insiders, Gosling is currently in early discussions with Lucasfilm to take on a major role in an upcoming Star Wars standalone film. While details are being kept under wraps (because, of course, this is Star Wars—and secrecy is their thing!), sources suggest this won’t be connected to the Skywalker saga but will instead introduce fresh new characters to the beloved franchise.
With Gosling’s proven versatility playing everything from a brooding stunt driver (Drive) to a singing romantic (La La Land) and even Ken (Barbie), there’s no doubt he’d bring serious star power to the galaxy far, far away.
The real question is: What kind of character would he play?
Hero or Villain? Fans Debate Ryan Gosling’s Perfect Star Wars Role
While Lucasfilm is staying tight-lipped on the plot, the internet is already speculating on whether Gosling will wield a lightsaber as a Jedi or lean into his mysterious, brooding side as a dark side enforcer.
Twitter (sorry—X) is buzzing with fan theories, with some envisioning him as a young Jedi Knight searching for lost Force knowledge, while others are hoping he’ll take on a grittier, Rogue One-style antihero. And let’s not forget the possibility of him rocking Mandalorian armor—because who wouldn’t want to see that?!
But one of the more interesting theories floating around? Gosling could be playing a totally fresh Star Wars villain. With his intensity in films like The Gray Man and Blade Runner 2049, seeing him as an icy, calculating Sith Lord would be everything.
Lucasfilm’s New Direction—And Where Gosling Fits In
We all know that Lucasfilm is expanding the Star Wars universe beyond the legacy characters we grew up with. With recent projects like Ahsoka, The Mandalorian, and the upcoming films from James Mangold, Dave Filoni, and Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, it’s clear Disney is going big on fresh stories.
So where does Ryan Gosling’s film fit into all this?
Rumor has it, Gosling’s movie will be a completely fresh take, much like Rogue One and Solo: A Star Wars Story, but with a bold new vision from a currently undisclosed director. Some whispers in Hollywood suggest that this could be Lucasfilm’s biggest standalone film yet—so Gosling could be leading the next wave of Star Wars blockbusters.
And let's be real—if anyone can carry an entire Star Wars epic, Ryan Gosling can.
Will Ryan Gosling Join Fellow A-Listers in Star Wars?
If the deal goes through, Gosling will join an elite list of Hollywood A-listers who have jumped into Star Wars, including:
- Oscar Isaac (Poe Dameron)
- Adam Driver (Kylo Ren)
- Daisy Ridley (Rey Skywalker)
- Donald Glover (Lando Calrissian)
- Pedro Pascal (The Mandalorian)
It's clear that Lucasfilm has been casting top-tier acting talent to bring depth and gravitas to its biggest films and shows. And honestly? Gosling would fit right in.
