LOS ANGELES, CA — Oscar-winning actress Mikey Madison has officially passed on a role in an upcoming untitled Star Wars film directed by Shawn Levy. Sources close to the project confirmed that discussions had taken place regarding a potential role for Madison, but ultimately, she decided not to proceed.
The news comes on the heels of Madison’s recent acclaim for her performance in the film Anora, directed by Sean Baker, for which she won the Academy Award for Best Actress in 2024. The untitled Star Wars film, which also stars Ryan Gosling, is being developed as a standalone project, separate from the Skywalker Saga that concluded with 2019’s The Rise of Skywalker.
Levy, whose filmography includes the recent blockbuster Deadpool & Wolverine, has been working on the Star Wars movie since late 2022. Jonathan Tropper, known for his work on The Adam Project and This Is Where I Leave You, is writing the screenplay. The film represents an exciting addition to the Star Wars universe, which has only seen one film greenlit in the past five years — The Mandalorian & Grogu, set to debut on May 22, 2026.
In a statement, Madison expressed her gratitude for being considered for the role. “I was incredibly honored to have had an offer. However, the decision to pass was based on my other commitments,” she said. The actress, now 26, is known for her roles in the FX series Better Things and in films like Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Scream.
Industry insiders suggest Madison’s decision allows Levy and his casting team to explore other opportunities for the character slated for the film. While specifics about the role remain undisclosed, there is speculation that the project could include new characters and settings in the Star Wars universe.
As Madison continues to build her career post-Oscar, fans and critics alike are eager to see what project she will undertake next. Her performances have undoubtedly caught the attention of many in Hollywood, prompting interest in her involvement in major franchises like Star Wars. For now, it remains to be seen what lies ahead for this talented actress.
