Ryan Gosling to Star in Next Movie From ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’ Directing Duo Daniels

Ryan Gosling will star in the next film from “Everything Everywhere All at Once” directors Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert.

Plot details remain under wraps, with production expected to begin in Los Angeles this summer. Universal set the untitled movie for June 12, 2027, but recently delayed the release to Nov. 19 of the same year.

Now Gosling is set to lead two major 2027 releases, including director Shawn Levy’s “Star Wars: Starfighter,” a spinoff set in a galaxy far, far away. The actor’s deal for the Daniels film closed just days after his latest blockbuster, Amazon MGM’s sci-fi epic “Project Hail Mary,” shattered box office expectations with $80 million domestically and $141 million globally. Grosses for the movie currently stand at $100 million in North America and $155 million worldwide.

Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, collectively known as Daniels, made their feature directorial debut with 2016’s “Swiss Army Man,” a fantasy comedy starring Paul Dano alongside Daniel Radcliffe as a flatulent corpse. Their most recent cinematic adventure, 2022’s “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” was led by Michelle Yeoh as a struggling laundromat owner who, while being audited by the IRS, discovers she has to connect with parallel universe versions of herself to prevent cataclysmic destruction. The film was a critical and commercial smash, earning more than $100 million at the box office and scoring seven Oscars, including best picture. The filmmaking duo first came to prominence by directing the viral music video for Lil Jon’s “Turn Down for What.”

Kwan, Scheinert and Jonathan Wang will produce the untitled film through their Playgrounds overall deal with Universal. Kwan and Wang recently backed “The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist” from Universal’s specialty studio Focus Features, set for release on March 27. Deadline first reported the news of Gosling’s casting.
