The Fall Guy takes over for Deadpool: May 2024 release date and everything else to know about the Ryan Gosling comedy
There’s a shift for the 2024 movie calendar as the summer movie season will now kick off with The Fall Guy! Find out more about this new action comedy here!
The Fall Guy is Lee Majors’s second-best-known role after The Six Million Dollar Man. He played Colt Seavers, a stuntman who moonlighted as a bounty hunter on the side. Thus, each episode had Colt working on a movie and then on an adventure that would often put his fictional stunts to shame. The show was a hit running on ABC for five seasons.
Now, a movie version is coming with much the same idea. Here, Colt is an aging stuntman working on a film for his ex-girlfriend, Jody Moreno. When leading man and action star Tom Ryder vanishes, Colt tries to track him down only to get involved in a crazy case pushing his action credentials to a new degree.
Who stars in The Fall Guy?
The cast is pretty stacked with Ryan Gosling as Colt, using his great looks and past use of stunts well for the role. Emily Blunt plays Jody, and it’s clear the pair have a good banter going.
Winston Duke plays Howie “Kid” Munson, Colt’s longtime friend, with Ted Lasso’s Hannah Waddingham as the movie’s producer. Aaron Taylor-Johnson looks to send himself up as the egotistical movie star with Stephanie Hsu and Teresa Palmer also in the cast. And yes, Lee Majors will make a cameo to pass the torch to Gosling.
