The movie is inspired by the 1980s television series of the same name, so be sure to read the official plot summary provided below.

He’s a stuntman, much like other members of the stunt fraternity, he experiences explosions, gunfire, crashes, being hurled through windows, and falls from great heights – all for our amusement.

One can only wonder what could possibly go smoothly.

Ryan Gosling Is Ready & Waiting for ‘The Fall Guy 2’

Ready to dive headfirst into danger once more for “The Fall Guy 2”, Academy Award-nominated actor Ryan Gosling shares that the plot for his character, Colt Seavers, has already been mapped out. Moreover, it appears that the sequel’s narrative largely developed on its own, with Gosling stating that he and the creative team have an intimate understanding of the storyline for the sequel. He mentioned this to Fast Company last May…

Absolutely! We’re quite fond of Colt and Emily Blunt’s character, Jody, and were curious about their future beyond the film. Intrigued by what’s next for them, we have a clear idea, and we hope that the viewers share our curiosity.

The next chapter in our saga essentially flowed out naturally. Since we are deeply familiar with the narrative, we’re crossing our fingers that audiences enjoy the film enough to let us continue chronicling the lives of these characters. They mean a great deal to us and so does their world, and I am convinced we can deliver a worthy continuation.

Regrettably, although it received favorable critical acclaim, The Fall Guy underperformed at the ticket counters. This action-comedy failed financially, earning just $181 million globally against a production cost of $125-$150 million, and reportedly causing the studio to incur a loss of approximately $50 million. Nevertheless, if The Fall Guy maintains its popularity on streaming platforms, there might be a sequel in the pipeline.
