Emily Blunt joins Ryan Gosling in The Fall Guy movie remake.
Emily Blunt has joined Ryan Gosling in Universal's The Fall Guy movie adaptation from director David Leitch which also announced a release date. After getting his start as a stunt performer and coordinator, Leitch has enjoyed a steady rise to stardom since making his uncredited directorial debut on John Wick alongside Chad Stahelski. Since then, Leitch has helmed a series of hits in Atomic Blonde, Deadpool 2, and Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Leitch's next project, The Fall Guy, is already in the works and set to start filming this fall. With a script penned by Hobbs & Shaw writer Drew Pearce, the forthcoming film is inspired by the classic 1980s television series of the same name which aired on ABC and followed a trio of Hollywood stunt performers who seek secondary employment as bounty hunters.
Blunt's casting in The Fall Guy continues her ascent in the action genre after roles in Edge of Tomorrow, Sicario, and the Quiet Place franchise, giving her another potential franchise role to showcase her chops as a veritable action star. The actress just finished filming Christopher Nolan's highly-anticipated film, Oppenheimer, for Universal. Now, Blunt's casting in The Fall Guy will keep her in-house for the time being, which is becoming increasingly important to studios.
In The Fall Guy, Gosling will seemingly be taking a lead role modeled after Lee Majors' character, Colt Seavers, from the TV series. Now, Blunt's casting signifies she will play a character based in some part on Jody Banks, Heather Thomas' female lead from the 1980s show, though this is pure speculation at this point. On the show, Colt was accompanied by his cousin and stuntman-in-training, Howie "Kid" Munson , so the movie might be looking to fill that de facto role next.
