“The Fall Guy” is the new action movie of the year that brings together two of the industry’s most charismatic on-screen stars: Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt, who have demonstrated great talent for comedy.
Directed by David Leitch, from a screenplay developed by Drew Pearce and Glen A. Larson (based on the TV show), the drama tells the story of a Hollywood stuntman who works as a bounty hunter to survive.
The narrative is an adaptation, if you can call it that, of an 80s television classic. Therefore, it was expected to become a trend, as it plays with nostalgia for some and surprise for others. Here, check if there will be a sequel…
Will The Fall Guy have a sequel?
Although the arrival of a sequel to “The Fall Guy” has not yet been confirmed, the movie’s producer Kelly McCormick and director David Leitch confirmed that this could be the start of a franchise.
Some time ago, these figures spoke with Collider and revealed that there is still more material to explore, so the possibility of a second movie is present. McCormick said the following:
“There’s definitely more stories to tell. That was one of the fun things about making a movie within a movie is that there are so many Easter eggs or fodder from all of our experiences on sets, and there are so many more that we can give because it really is sort of truth is stranger than fiction on those things, you know?
So, there’s that opportunity, and then also, it’s a little bit evergreen where they can just join if some kind of mystery thriller is gonna be tethered to another set. You can kind of do that and continue to do that, which is an exciting opportunity for a franchise. But obviously, this one’s got to deliver. Hopefully, it does. We think it might“.
Would Emily Blunt and Ryan Gosling return for a sequel?
Well, in the event that the arrival of “The Fall Guy 2” is confirmed, everything indicates that both Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt would return to the big screen to resume the story where they left off and bring their characters to life.
The actress from Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer took on the role of Jody Moreno, while the actor from Greta Gerwig’s Barbie was chosen to be one of the leads and portray Colt Seavers, an action stuntman without limits.
According to Screen Rant, this is Gosling’s most scalable comedy franchise, and both he and his co-stars, especially Blunt and the director, are really excited about a possible part two.
Fast Company spoke with the star, and when asked about the future of the saga, Ryan revealed that “the sequel wrote itself”, later adding that he already knows the story of the next installment of the action film, if it happens.
