Shane Black’s movie “The Nice Guys” is set to debut on Netflix starting February 1st, an opportune moment given its growing online popularity. First hitting screens in 2016, the film garnered positive feedback and commendation for the outstanding performances of Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe as the main characters. Despite earning $62 million against a budget of $50 million, the film’s financial underperformance nixed any potential sequel. Yet, fans on social media are relentlessly advocating for a follow-up to this beloved movie.

1977 Los Angeles sees private investigator Holland March (Ryan Gosling) team up with an enforcer named Jackson Healy (Russell Crowe), along with his daughter Holly (Angourie Rice). They embark on a joint mission to find Amelia, a missing woman (Margaret Qualley). As they delve deeper into the case, they stumble upon a complex and unforeseen conspiracy that involves both the automotive and adult film industries. The movie is marked by Shane Black’s characteristic humor, sharp dialogue, and compelling mystery – a result of the screenplay penned by Black and co-writer Anthony Bagarozzi.
In “The Nice Guys,” released on Netflix on Feb .1, 2025, Gosling and Crowe’s performances are central to the film, particularly in their character interactions. This is reminiscent of Shane Black’s directorial debut, “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang” where both movies were inspired by mystery novelist Brett Halliday. For fans who enjoyed Black’s first feature film, this is an exceptional choice for a follow-up watch.
‘The Nice Guys’ Sequel Isn’t Exactly Impossible
The movie joining Netflix in February will likely spark renewed discussions about it on social media, particularly when conversations revolve around underrated films. A planned television remake of the film called “The Nice Girls” was announced in 2017 and was supposed to air on Fox with a script commitment from the network. However, no progress has been made on the series since then. Ryan Gosling playfully commented on the movie’s underperformance at the box office, saying they couldn’t compete with the Angry Birds. Director F. Gary Gray has expressed his intention to make a sequel, but no official announcements have been made, leaving fans with just one exceptional film to enjoy.
Currently, discussions about a sequel are ongoing, with the primary challenge being to agree on a budget that is manageable yet attractive enough for the studio. Additionally, positive word of mouth and renewed interest in ‘The Nice Guys’ could potentially pave the way for March and Healy to reappear in another big-screen adventure.
Viewers eagerly anticipating another “Nice Guys” movie might find their wish granted, as the Netflix release of the film and the upcoming 4K UHD special edition could convince producers that there’s a strong demand for a sequel. Despite Russell Crowe being involved in personal projects, Ryan Gosling’s fame has soared, making him more recognized than ever. For now, fans can catch “The Nice Guys” when it becomes available on Netflix in February.
