That’s the hot word as posted in The Hollywood Reporter as Shawn Levy’s Star Wars project gets up a head of steam after Levy’s billion-dollar grossing 2024 hit Deadpool and Wolverine. Ryan Gosling is the megastar name attached to the project, one that is unconnected to the Skywalker Saga so could presumably be set at any point in the timeline as a standalone adventure.
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.
Details on any Star Wars project are harder to acquire than plans for an orbital planet killer, and this one is no exception. Levy has been developing his Star Wars feature since 2022 and Jonathan Tropper, who collaborated with Levy on films such as This Is Where I Leave You and The Adam Project, has been working on a script for over a year. Levy is also producing the feature via his 21 Laps banner, joining Star Wars stewards Kathleen Kennedy and Lucasfilm.
We’ll be sure to discuss this and much more on the next episode of Making Tracks, out next week.
