Academy Award-winning actress Mikey Madison has declined an opportunity to play a part in Shawn Levy’s upcoming Star Wars movie alongside Ryan Gosling. Following her Oscar triumph for Anora, it’s reported that she passed on a role that was extended by the director behind Deadpool and Wolverine.
It’s been confirmed by sources that Madison was considering joining a high-profile Lucasfilm project, but she is no longer involved as she has decided not to disclose more details about her involvement.
The Star Wars project would have marked the notable studio debut for Madison following her Best Actress win. At 26, she has previously appeared on Better Things, a television series that spanned five seasons since 2016, with genres ranging from comedy to drama. Her other cinematic endeavors include Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood and Scream 5.
In an unexpected yet exhilarating twist, my breakthrough role in Sean Baker’s Anora has undeniably shaped my career trajectory. This performance garnered unanimous critical praise and even earned me my inaugural Oscar statuette, along with a BAFTA award. Remarkably, this role was offered to me without the traditional audition process, opening new doors in my journey as an actress.
In a captivating narrative, the movie Anora follows the story of Madison, a young woman who was once a sex worker, as she enters into a rapid and exhilarating romance with the son of a wealthy Russian tycoon. This film, debuted at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, has garnered impressive earnings of $34.5 million worldwide while only costing $6 million to produce.
Despite Mikey Madison remaining silent on the reasons behind her decision to pass on the Star Wars part, there’s much curiosity surrounding her upcoming professional choices. Given her rising fame and enhanced negotiation power within the industry, experts speculate that she will exercise great discernment when choosing future opportunities.
Currently, screenwriter Jonathan Tropper from The Adam Project is penning the script for Ryan Gosling’s future space adventure. It appears this project has been in development since the year 2022.
