Recently, writer Jonathan Tropper gave an interview to Collider where he confirmed that the forthcoming Star Wars film starring Ryan Gosling is in the works. Tropper, who is writing the film helmed by Shawn Levy for Lucasfilms said,
"That gig is something I’ve dreamed about my whole life. We’re still working on it. For various reasons, I can’t say anything about it. But we’re working on it."
Levy's previous film, Deadpool & Wolverine, was released in 2024 and grossed around $1.338 billion at the box office while also receiving a positive critical response.
