With The Fall Guy’s first trailer promising a cross between Drive and The Nice Guys we never knew we wanted, Ryan Gosling’s next action/comedy made a pretty strong impression. But here we are, Super Bowl LVIII, and “pretty strong” isn’t gonna cut it. This is where you break out the big guns, the razzle dazzle, the Broadway Joe flair. And in the new trailer for director David Leitch’s 2024 movie both promises and delivers “everything.”
Universal Pictures has hyped up its upcoming summer release, and this footage is even hotter than the fact that the studio moved this TV adaptation away from its original March debut. The one minute teaser boasts that the upcoming action movie features everything an audience can want, and it’s a whole lot of fun.
What we know about The Fall Guy hasn’t changed much from when we last checked in with Hobbes and Shaw writer Drew Pierce’s take on the five-season ABC action series. Ryan Gosling’s Colt Seavers gets in over his head as a stunt double gig for the famous Tom Ryder (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) turns into a mystery that revolves around Ryder’s disappearance.
Summer 2024 may still be a couple months away, and anyone with a calendar can look at you like you’re crazy for pointing it out. However, thanks to trailers for everything from Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes to Twisters appearing during the big game this evening, it all feels a bit closer than it did yesterday.
The Fall Guy is looking to hit its mark, only in theaters, on May 1, and stay tuned here on CinemaBlend for plenty more coverage of the exciting upcoming film.
More to come…
