The “Barbie” and “La La Land” star is in negotiations to star in an untitled “Star Wars” movie to be directed by Shawn Levy (“Deadpool & Wolverine”).

Screenwriter Jonathan Tropper (“This Is Where I Leave You,” “The Adam Project”) has been writing the screenplay for the film, which Levy has been developing since 2022.

Levy is also producing via 21 Laps, along with Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy.

The movie is a standalone project that isn’t connected with the Skywalker Saga, which concluded with 2019’s “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.”

But Gosling’s involvement could jump the project into light speed, moving it to the pole position of Lucasfilm’s “Star Wars” film development slate ahead of projects involving directors James Mangold, Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy and Dave Filoni, which were officially announced at the Star Wars Celebration in April 2023.
Levy’s movie would follow “The Mandalorian & Grogu,” the only “Star Wars” film to get a greenlight in more than five years; that film, which recently completed principal photography, is slated to debut on May 22, 2026.

For Gosling will next appear in the sci-fi thriller “Project Hail Mary” from directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, based on the bestseller by Andy Weir.
