Ryan Gosling has confirmed he will lead a new Star Wars film, with the title of the franchise’s upcoming live-action story revealed.

The new Disney project is set to be released in two years’ time, and will be a “standalone story”, meaning the action will not follow the main storyline of the Skywalker family or sequels starring British actress Daisy Ridley.
