Ryan Gosling will star in the next film from Everything Everywhere All at Once directors Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert.
Plot details are yet to be revealed, and production is expected to begin this summer in Los Angeles. Universal had set a release date for the untitled film on June 12, 2027, but recently pushed it back to November 19, 2027.
Gosling is currently set to star in two major releases in 2027, including a spin-off set in a galaxy far, far away, Star Wars: Starfighter, directed by Shawn Levy. Daniels’ film deal comes days after his latest film, the Amazon-MGM sci-fi blockbuster Project Hail Mary, shattered box office expectations by grossing $80 million domestically and $141 million worldwide. The film has now grossed $100 million in North America and $155 million worldwide.
Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, known as The Daniels, made their feature directorial debut in 2016’s Swiss Army Man, a fantasy comedy co-starring Paul Dano and Daniel Radcliffe as a farting corpse. In her latest cinematic adventure, 2022’s Everything Everywhere All at Once, Michelle Yeoh plays a beleaguered laundromat owner who, while being audited by the IRS, realizes she must connect with her parallel world self to prevent catastrophe from destroying her. The film was a critical and commercial hit, grossing over $100 million at the box office and winning seven Oscars, including Best Picture. This filmmaking duo first rose to fame by directing the viral music video for Lil Jon’s “Turn Down for What.”
Kwan, Scheinert and Jonathan Wan will produce the untitled film through a Playground overall deal with Universal. Kwan and Wang recently supported Universal’s specialty studio Focus Features’ “AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocalypse”, scheduled for release on March 27th. News of Gosling’s casting was first reported by Deadline.
