Brace yourselves for full-on action in theaters as Barbie’s Ryan Gosling and Oppenheimer’s Emily Blunt join forces in the upcoming action-comedy The Fall Guy, directed by David Leitch, who previously helmed Deadpool 2 and Atomic Blonde.

The jaw-dropping, explosive action-comedy movie is a love letter to Hollywood’s stuntmen and crew who create magic behind the cameras for an exhilarating experience best seen in cinemas. The Fall Guy stars Gosling as Colt, a stuntman who serviced A-list star Tom Ryder (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) for years. 

 Colt's stunt expertise is needed to work anew alongside his ex-girlfriend Jody Moreno (Blunt) in her directorial sci-fi movie debut. But when the movie’s main star, Tom, disappears, Colt’s reel skills get real when he’s tasked to find the missing actor to save Jody’s film.  As Colt tracks Tom’s whereabouts, he takes an all-too-familiar route for real this time, from dodging bullets to speeding cars to help Jody bring her vision to the big screen.

Director Leitch knows the genre all too well, being a stunt performer in previous movies such as Fight Club, Daredevil, Bourne Ultimatum, and Matrix movies, making him the ideal helmer of The Fall Guy.  

Gosling, from his appearance at CinemaCon earlier this year when they showed the film’s first footage, mentioned, “In most films, the actors get all the credit, but the stunt performers do all the work, and that ends today”.

From Universal Pictures, “The Fall Guy” will open in Philippine cinemas on Feb. 28, 2024.
