With the box office success of Project Hail Mary, Ryan Gosling has re-established himself as one of the biggest box office stars today. Some have also argued that we are at the peak of his movie stardom, given that most of his movies this decade have achieved success in varying degrees, such as his Oscar-nominated turn as Ken in Barbie.
You might be curious to find out what Gosling's upcoming movies are and what you should look forward to in his next big-screen roles.
Star Wars: Starfighter
Gosling will be seen in another space adventure next year in the upcoming film Star Wars: Starfighter. So far, the details regarding the role that he is playing are under wraps.
Directed by Shawn Levy, it is an entirely original story set in a period of time never before explored in the Star Wars timeline on the big screen. It is currently slated for release in theaters on May 28, 2027.
The cast also includes Flynn Gray, Matt Smith, Mia Goth, Aaron Pierre, Simon Bird, Jamael Westman, Daniel Ings, and Amy Adams.
"It’s such a great story on its own, and the characters are amazing. The journey is epic. I think that Shawn Levy, he’s got it. He’s got the tone. He’s got the enthusiasm for this. It’s infectious. Everybody involved is just sucked into his love. He’s so passionate about this that he’s really so in his element," Gosling teased about the film in an interview with Collider.
"It was a beautiful thing to see. It felt like someone who’d been working their whole life to be making this, and I think we all felt like we were a part of something really special. I’m saying too much!"
Untitled Movie from The Daniels
Following the awards and box office success of Everything Everywhere All at Once (including an Oscar win for Best Picture), the Daniels (aka Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert) are set to work on an untitled movie for Universal Pictures that is set to release in November 2027.
It was recently confirmed that Gosling has signed on to star in the mysterious project. The details regarding the character that he is playing are still under wraps.
There is also no information yet regarding the story of the film. Kwan recently teased to EW, "It's going to be fun sci-fi, action comedy with a big heart. Very existential. All those things that you would hope that one of our movies would be. But as the world gets more complex, I believe one of my jobs as a storyteller is to meet the world where it's at."
Considering that Everything Everywhere All at Once led to Oscar wins for stars Michelle Yeoh, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Ke Huy Quan, fans are now wondering whether this could propel Gosling to that kind of awards victory as well.
