Fresh off his memorable Oscar night performance of ‘I’m Just Ken,’ Ryan Thomas Gosling continues to soar in the spotlight. With rave reviews from its initial screening at SXSW, anticipation is high for Gosling’s upcoming film, The Fall Guy, signaling the return of the charismatic actor known for his comedic prowess, reminiscent of The Nice Guys.
Set to the upbeat tune of Journey’s ‘Any Way You Want It,’ the trailer delivers a delightful blend of over-the-top action and Gosling’s signature charm alongside Emily Blunt. Directed by David Leitch, renowned for his seamless integration of action and humor, The Fall Guy promises to captivate audiences, much like his previous work in Bullet Train.
Adapted by Drew Pearce, co-writer of Iron Man 3, from the 1980s TV series starring Lee Majors, The Fall Guy follows Colt Severs (Gosling), a stuntman-turned-bounty hunter who returns to work after a near career-ending accident. Tasked with tracking down the missing leading man, Tom Ryder (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), Colt navigates a high-stakes adventure filled with twists, turns, and comedic moments.
As Colt embarks on his mission, he reconnects with his former flame, Jody Moreno (Blunt), who is directing a sci-fi film amidst production challenges. With Gail (Hannah Waddingham), the film’s producer, urging Colt to locate Ryder discreetly, the stage is set for a wild ride filled with humor and heart.
Featuring a star-studded cast including Winston Duke, Teresa Palmer, and Stephanie Hsu, The Fall Guy pays tribute to the unsung heroes of the film industry: stunt performers. With its blend of action-packed sequences and comedic flair, the film promises to entertain audiences when it hits theaters on May 2nd.
