“Need her to play a villain” — Fans poke fun as Mikey Madison is rumored to join Shawn Levy’s ‘Star Wars’ film with Ryan Gosling

Word on the internet streets is that Mikey Madison yes, the chaotic queen from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Scream has been offered a role in Shawn Levy’s upcoming Star Wars film.

But she’s not the only one making headlines here. Apparently, Ryan Gosling is attached to star in the same movie, and that bit of casting has already set off a domino effect of opinions, memes, and one very unhinged (but kind of poetic?) marriage proposal.

Mikey Madison, Ryan Gosling, and the 'Star Wars' shake-up

The post that stirred the pot was a pretty standard celebrity casting update Mikey Madison reportedly being offered a role in Levy’s Star Wars film. But you know how the internet works: it took less than 10 seconds for people to turn it into a stand-up comedy show.

No confirmation from Disney or Levy yet, but that didn’t stop fans from instantly imagining Mikey Madison as a lightsaber-wielding, force-choking villain. And honestly? Not the worst idea. She already has the “unpredictable chaos energy” thing down. Just add a cape and some brooding stares.

"Need her to play a villain," declared one fan.

As for Ryan Gosling, the casting has received... mixed reviews. While some fans are all in, others are still emotionally processing Barbie. Either way, the vibe is clear: no one is ready, and everyone has opinions.

The combination of Mikey Madison’s cult-following energy and Ryan Gosling’s heartthrob-turned-deep-thinker era was already enough fuel. But it was the sheer absurdity of imagining them in the Star Wars universe directed by Free Guy’s Shawn Levy that turned a rumor into a meme machine.

The comments section of the post quickly became the digital equivalent of open mic night. And let’s just say: the fans were on fire.

One user, clearly ready to embrace the dark side, said:

“This is a Sith casting I didn’t know I needed.”

It’s giving full-force approval and then some.

Another chimed in, fully prepared to abandon all dignity in the name of love:

“I offered her a role to be my wife irl forever but I haven’t gotten a response.”

Romantic? Slightly concerning? Either way, the Force is strong with this one.

Then there was the inevitable take on Gosling's casting, which spoiler alert not everyone was thrilled about:

“The fact that they even casted Ryan Gosling is bad enough 💀💀”

Ouch. Not exactly a warm welcome to the galaxy.

And of course, no viral moment is complete without a reality check:

“Got hyped until I read the source.”

We’ve all been there. Just when you're ready to book your midnight premiere tickets, you realize the source is basically some guy’s cousin’s roommate who once walked past a Disney exec at Whole Foods.

And the cherry on top? A user, possibly the most emotionally invested of them all, simply screamed into the void:

“Yes sir.”

Sometimes two words say it all.

Whether this rumor ends up being true or just a brief blip in the ever-churning rumorverse, one thing’s clear people are ready for some chaos in Star Wars, and Mikey Madison might just be the perfect agent of it.

And if nothing else, we now know the internet is fully prepared to cast, direct, and emotionally spiral over a movie before it's even confirmed. That’s the power of fandom and maybe just a little boredom.
