Ryan Gosling will no longer star in the next movie from the directors behind the 2022 hit Everything Everywhere All at Once
Gosling's upcoming projects include Star Wars: Starfighter and an action comedy with Will Ferrell titled Tough Guys
The actor's most recent movie Project Hail Mary is now the highest-grossing movie of 2026 so far in North America
Just one week after news broke that Ryan Gosling would star in the next movie from Everything Everywhere All at Once writing and directing duo Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, the actor appears to no longer be involved with the project.
On Thursday, April 2, multiple outlets reported that, due to scheduling conflicts, Gosling, 45, will no longer star in that movie, which does not yet have a title.
The movie is scheduled to begin filming this summer in California and was unable to move to meet its currently scheduled release date in November 2027, leading to Gosling's departure from the project, as those outlets reported.
News of Gosling's brief involvement with the project first broke on Thursday, March 26, just after his most recent film Project Hail Mary made a whopping $80.6 million at the domestic box office in its first weekend.
Project Hail Mary has since grown into the highest-grossing movie of 2026 so far in North American theaters, making $181.5 million domestically. The movie is the second-highest-grossing film this year worldwide, behind the Chinese comedy Pegasus 3, which has made more than $600 million, almost entirely in overseas markets.

The duo rose to prominence when Everything Everywhere All at Once, which starred Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan, Jamie Lee Curtis and Stephanie Hsu, won seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay and Best Costume Design at the 2023 Oscars.

Kwan and Scheinert have not released a narrative movie together since. Kwan most recently produced a new documentary on artificial intelligence titled The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist, which is in theaters now.
Though Gosling will no longer star in the Daniels' next movie, the actor has multiple projects in the works to follow Project Hail Mary with.
The three-time Oscar nominee will also star in the next Star Wars movie, titled Starfighter, which is set for release in May 2027, as well as an action comedy with Will Ferrell titled Tough Guys, which Deadline first reported on in July 2025.
