The Fall Guy is an action-comedy film directed by David Leitch and written by Drew Pearce. It is based on a series from the 1980s of the same name, created by Glen A. Larson. The highly anticipated film is set to premiere across theaters on May 3, 2024, and is distributed by Universal Pictures.
The official synopsis of the upcoming film reads,
"After leaving the business one year earlier, battle-scarred stuntman Colt Seavers springs back into action when the star of a big studio movie suddenly disappears. As the mystery surrounding the missing actor deepens, Colt soon finds himself ensnared in a sinister plot that pushes him to the edge of a fall more dangerous than any stunt."
The film has a star-studded cast, with Hollywood heartthrobs Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt taking the lead. Director David Leitch's last film, Bullet Train, which starred Brad Pitt, was a great blend of action and comedy, and it can be expected that The Fall Guy will follow in its footsteps.
