Mikey Madison Passes on Shawn Levy’s ‘Star Wars’ Movie With Ryan Gosling
Mikey Madison was being eyed to appear in the ‘Star Wars’ movie from Shawn Levy after winning the best actress Oscar for 'Anora.'
Levy — who will join the rarefied club of directors who’ve worked with both Canadian movie stars named Ryan — has been developing the project since late 2022 and is also producing for his 21 Laps company, along with Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy. The movie is said to be a standalone project that isn’t connected with the Skywalker Saga, which concluded with 2019’s “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.” All other plot details are encased in carbonite for the foreseeable future. As for Madison, the 24-year-old actress is known for her roles in the FX series “Better Things,” as well as the films “Once Upon a Time in… Hollywood” and “Scream 5.” But Sean Baker’s “Anora” was a true gamechanger — and the first movie she didn’t have to audition for.
