I’m just Kenobi: Ryan Gosling set to join Star Wars franchise in as-yet-untitled movie
The project, which will be a standalone story similar to Rogue One or Solo will be helmed by Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy
It is thought Gosling’s involvement, fresh from mainstream success and an Oscar nomination for Barbie, may see production accelerate to meet that date. Having prioritised its spin-off TV shows since The Rise of Skywalker, the franchise is due to debut its next cinema project, The Mandalorian & Grogu, in May 2026. Other projects confirmed to be in development include a film focusing on Daisy Ridley’s character Rey to be directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, and a prequel story with the working title Dawn of the Jedi, set 25,000 years in the past, from A Complete Unknown director James Mangold.
