You may have loved Ryan Gosling as Ken in the summer blockbuster "Barbie," but will he win your heart again in his new role as "The Fall Guy"?

Check out the first official trailer for the upcoming action comedy, based on the 1980s campy action series "The Fall Guy," which originally starred Lee Majors. The series revolves around a Hollywood stuntman who doubles as a bounty hunter, taking on various problem-solving missions.

In this big-screen adaptation directed by David Leitch, a former stuntman turned director known for directing action films like "Bullet Train," "Deadpool 2," "Atomic Blonde," and "Hobbs & Shaw," Ryan Gosling steps into the role of Colt Seavers. Colt is a rugged stuntman with a history, who unexpectedly finds himself working on a major Hollywood action spectacle directed by his former flame, Jody Moreno, portrayed by Emily Blunt. When the film's leading star, Tom Ryder (played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson), goes missing, Colt is tasked with tracking him down. However, this mission plunges him into a dangerous situation as mean-looking adversaries attempt to kill him.

The film also features Winston Duke, Stephanie Hsu, Hannah Waddingham, and Teresa Palmer. The screenplay is penned by Drew Pearce, known for his work on "Hobbs & Shaw."

"The Fall Guy" is slated to hit theaters early next year, with a release date set for May 3rd, 2024.

synopsis:
He's a stuntman, and like everyone in the stunt community, he gets blown up, shot, crashed, thrown through windows and dropped from the highest of heights, all for our entertainment. And now, fresh off an almost career-ending accident, this working-class hero has to track down a missing movie star, solve a conspiracy and try to win back the love of his life while still doing his day job. What could possibly go right?

From real life stunt man and director David Leitch, the blockbuster director of Bullet Train, Deadpool 2, Atomic Blonde and Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw and the producer of John Wick, Nobody and Violent Night, comes his most personal film yet. A new hilarious, hard-driving, all-star apex-action thriller and love letter to action movies and the hard-working and under-appreciated crew of people who make them: The Fall Guy.

Oscar nominee Ryan Gosling (Barbie, La La Land, Drive) stars as Colt Seavers, a battle-scarred stuntman who, having left the business a year earlier to focus on both his physical and mental health, is drafted back into service when the star of a mega-budget studio movie -- being directed by his ex, Jody Moreno, played by Golden Globe winner Emily Blunt (Oppenheimer, A Quiet Place films, Sicario) -- goes missing.

While the film's ruthless producer (Emmy winner Hannah Waddingham; Ted Lasso), maneuvers to keep the disappearance of star Tom Ryder (Golden Globe winner Aaron Taylor-Johnson; Bullet Train) a secret from the studio and the media, Colt performs the film's most outrageous stunts while trying (with limited success) to charm his way back into Jody's good graces. But as the mystery around the missing star deepens, Colt will find himself ensnared in a sinister, criminal plot that will push him to the edge of a fall more dangerous than any stunt. Inspired by the hit 1980s TV series, The Fall Guy also stars Winston Duke (Black Panther franchise) and Academy Award nominee Stephanie Hsu (Everything Everywhere All at Once).
