Disney’s “Star Wars VII” is supposed to start shooting in London in early 2014 but, so far, no casting announcement has been made. Jonathan Rhys Meyers and even Leonardo DiCaprio auditioned for parts but did not get them.

Latino Review is now saying that another Hollywood hottie stands good chances of coming on board the franchise and, no, it’s not Robert Pattinson.

The e-zine says both Ryan Gosling and Zac Efron are almost a sure thing.

“As for what role Efron would be playing, we don’t know. He could be a Solo kid. But what I was told for sure is that Gosling went in for Skywalker’s son. Yes, that’s right Luke’s kid,” the e-zine says.

“Interesting thing is that Episode 7 is taking place thirty years after Return of the Jedi,” it adds.

The same publication speculates that a casting announcement will be made next month, at the annual D23 Expo that will take place in Anaheim.

I can’t even begin to express how happy I’d be if Gosling landed the part. What about you?
