Why Oscar-Winner Mikey Madison Turned Down Ryan Gosling’s Star Wars Movie

In April 2025, he informed /movie that the director Sean Levy, Hollywood Liraban behind “Big FAT LIRAR”, “The Pink Panther”, “Real Steel” and “Deadpool & Wolverine” will oversee the new “Starfighter”. Little is known about the project in this turn, otherwise, it will play the role of star Ryan Gosling as an unknown character yet, and will be appointed after the events of “The Rise of Skywalker”. The largest part of the “Star Wars” projects that Disney had made since its acquisition of Lucasfy in 2012, was detected, prior or pins, so “Starfighter” will be the first movie “Star Wars” since 2019 to push the timeline forward.

It was reported that Mickey Madison, an Oscar -winning star in “Anora”, was dealt with to play a role in “Starfighter” as well. It is clear that it was used to play the central villain of the film. Madison was a rising star when she appeared in “Anora”, after she played the starring role in the “Scream” and in Queenin Tarantino “once … in Hollywood. Her major role was to play Max in all 52 episodes of the 2016 “Best Things” series. Madison, however, she was always cautious and choice about her roles, so she rejected the role in “Starfighter”. Her decision was mentioned in a recent report in Hollywood Reporter, and it appears that she was not well with the salary provided by Disney.

There is nothing else known about “Starfighter” at this time, and the propaganda trailer presented by Disney at the Press Star Wars event in 2025 (covered on the company’s website) was just a moving address screen with a proposed version date: May 28, 2027.

It should be recognized that the “Star Wars” no longer bears the call he did a decade ago. When “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” was released in 2015, the box office records were dropped, announcing that the “Star Wars” came back, darling. It was the first original theatrical movie in the franchise since “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” in 2008, and the fans were ready for that. Disney announced that she intends to release the main movie “Star Wars” every year. Individual years will present the official seasons in the continuous “stars war” epic, while the marital number of years will include in advance, inside, and other independent projects. This was in addition to the “Star Wars” offers on Disney+ and the new “Star Wars” area in Disneyland.

Excessive exposure “Star Wars” took only about five years. The market was immersed, and the fans were in a state of frenzy in excessive saturation. It also did not help that many of the higher franchise projects were just horrific (“individual”, “Ascest Skywalker”) or at least controversial (“The Last Jedi”). Although many may assume that the emerging actress like Mickey Madison may appreciate fame and exposure that may appear in the movie “Star Wars”, it is safe to assume that she will be completely ignored or worse yet, has made the goal of the online hate campaign (ask Kelly Mary Tran about it).

So, while the Hollywood Reporter newspaper said that Madison rejected “Starfighter” because of money, she is likely to be an amazing businesswoman, who weighs the salary against sadness and headache that was certainly coming to the “Star War”. If Disney would not pay her enough to overcome the online tide, it was wise to move away. We’ll see if Levy and Gosling have the stomach for that.
