Ryan Gosling to star in new Star Wars film

Ryan Gosling is to star in a new Star Wars film, which is set to be released in two years' time.

The new Disney project is titled Star Wars: Starfighter, and will be directed by Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy.

"The reality is that this script is just so good. It has such a great story with great and original characters," said Barbie actor Gosling at a Star Wars Celebration in Tokyo.

Set to be released on 7 May 2027, the film is a standalone story and won't follow the main plotline of the Skywalker family and recent sequels starring Daisy Ridley.

Not many details about the storyline have been revealed yet.

According to the Star Wars website, it is "set approximately five years after the events of Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker" with Gosling playing a new character.

The new space adventure is "not a prequel, not sequel, it's a new adventure. It's set in a period of time that we haven't seen explored yet"

Ryan Gosling might have enough oomph to block the AWFL Karens from destroying the movie with their woke bullshiite.

I liked that film too.
Gosling and this Director Shawn Levy, they may actually make Star Wars good again.

I'm not sure how to read your comment. I don't know if you're laughing with me or at me, c'est la vie. I will say that, if you were laughing at my premise that Gosling can rescue Star Wars from the harpies and bottom boys at Disney, I share your pessimism.

With a A lister like Ryan I doubt it will be a woke girl boss Mary Sue movie. Hopefully a good old school Star Wars action flick.

They look kinda related to anyone else? Or maybe the director guy is Ryan Gosling after 20 years and some plastic surgery and hair dye?
