Ryan Gosling had solidified himself as the internet’s collective boyfriend thanks to Barbie, and now he’s starring in what looks to be a parody of hyper-masculinity with the movie The Fall Guy. The movie is set to come out in May, and we just got a ridiculous first teaser.
Watch this:
He’s a stuntman, and like everyone in the stunt community, he gets blown up, shot, crashed, thrown through windows and dropped from the highest of heights, all for our entertainment. And now, fresh off an almost career-ending accident, this working-class hero has to track down a missing movie star, solve a conspiracy and try to win back the love of his life while still doing his day job. What could possibly go right?
The movie is being directed by stuntman himself David Leitch who was behind the John Wick films, Bullet Train, Atomic Blonde, and Deadpool 2; so we have a good idea of just what kind of movie to expect with The Fall Guy.
Emily Blunt looks to also be coming back to the action genre after her very memorable run with Tom Cruise in Edge of Tomorrow. Hopefully she also gets to inject some humor into this role.
That being said, the inclusion of Gosling does add that extra dash of himbo comedy that we can expect from him. Besides Gosling and Blunt, the movie also has a cast which includes the likes of Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Bullet Train), Stephanie Hsu (Everything Everywhere All at Once), Winston Duke (Black Panther), and Hannah Waddingham (Ted Lasso).
Watch out for The Fall Guy when it releases in theaters on May 3.
