(SeaPRwire) – Ryan Gosling has been fully immersed in space and sci-fi lately, with Project Hail Mary ruling the box office and a fresh Star Wars story approaching. Yet, these ventures into the vast unknown haven’t dampened the actor’s passion for the genre.
“I still want to make more,” Gosling recently told DiscussingFilm. “It really is fascinating—just the viewpoint it offers me.”
His latest project might grant that desire. Once he wraps up the currently filming Star Wars: Starfighter, Gosling is joining forces with two adored sci-fi directors, Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert. Known collectively as the Daniels, the minds behind Everything Everywhere All At Once have kept a lower profile since winning the Academy Award for Best Picture in 2023. After a period of stepping back, the pair is poised for a bold comeback, teaming with Universal Pictures on a high-profile film set to start production this summer.
Details about the film are, unsurprisingly, closely guarded, but the little that’s been shared suggests Gosling’s casting is a spot-on fit. Speaking to Collider at this year’s SXSW, Kwan hinted at a tale described as “fun sci-fi, action comedy with warmth” and “deeply existential.”
Kwan continued: “The key takeaway is we’re doing what we’ve always done: listening intently to what’s unfolding in the world, absorbing it, and creating something enjoyable and engaging that mirrors that narrative back to the world.”
With Gosling at the helm, it’s reasonable to expect the Daniels’ third film will be their most ambitious yet. Partnering with Universal, the studio responsible for countless blockbusters, signals the project’s scale. Another clue is its release date: the film is set to debut in November 2027, a prime slot for titles with awards aspirations.
Naturally, this won’t be Gosling’s only future space venture. Following Project Hail Mary‘s box office success, there’s already talk of a sequel that would expand beyond Andy Weir’s original novel.
Regardless of the Daniels’ Gosling project’s scale, the most intriguing aspect will be seeing how the quirky essence of Everything Everywhere and the Daniels’ offbeat debut, Swiss Army Man, blends with Gosling’s unique comedic style. This could be a sci-fi dream pairing.
