Universal Pictures is set to release the hilarious, thrilling, and star-studded action-thriller "The Fall Guy" on April 26. The film is directed by David Leitch, a former renowned Hollywood stuntman who successfully transitioned into a blockbuster director and producer. His directorial credits include "Bullet Train," "Deadpool 2," "Atomic Blonde," and "Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw." His producing credits include "John Wick," "Nobody," and "Violent Night." "The Fall Guy" is his most personal work, a love letter to action films and the hardworking crew members who often receive little gratitude or credit for their efforts in making these movies. The film stars Academy Award nominee Ryan Gosling ("Barbie," "La La Land"), Golden Globe winner Emily Blunt ("Oppenheimer," "A Quiet Place" series, "Sicario"), Golden Globe winner Aaron Taylor-Johnson ("Bullet Train"), Emmy Award winner Hannah Waddingham (comedy series "Ted Lasso"), Winston Duke ("Black Panther" series), and Academy Award nominee Stephanie Hsu ("Everything Everywhere All at Once").
"The Fall Guy" released its latest trailer on Wednesday, March 20, highlighting five major attractions: cool special effects and action that broke a Guinness World Record, spectacular large-scale explosion sequences, lead actors with stunning looks and top-tier physiques, an outpouring of romantic pursuit tactics and acting prowess, and a dramatic plot full of continuous surprises with no dull moments. All designed to immerse audiences in the cinematic experience on the big screen, delivering an adrenaline-pumping, exhilarating thrill.
"The Fall Guy" tells the story of a stuntman who, like every stuntman in the business, is constantly blown up, run over, thrown through windows, and dropped from great heights – all for the entertainment of the audience. Now, after an accident left him nearly unable to perform stunts, this working-class hero must find a missing movie star, unravel a conspiracy, and win back the heart of the love of his life, all while continuing to be a stuntman. Can he possibly succeed when he's stretched thin and overwhelmed?
Distributed by Universal Pictures. April 26. See it in theaters for a death-defying performance.
