Ryan Gosling is gearing up for another action-comedy role with “Tough Guys,” following his performances in “The Nice Guys” (2016) and “The Fall Guy” (2024). In this new film, he will be joined by Will Ferrell, known for his role in “The Other Guys” (2010). “Tough Guys” is based on a spec script by Daniel Gold, which revolves around two henchmen striving to break free from their criminal bosses and take control of their fates.
Although a director has yet to be chosen for the project, interest is high as Gosling and Ferrell previously starred together in “Barbie,” the highest-grossing film of 2023, where their performances significantly boosted both of their careers. Given the comedic chemistry they demonstrated in “Barbie,” there is optimism that “Tough Guys” will deliver similar magic.
Gosling’s growing list of “Guy” roles now tops his “Man” count, moving ahead to three films named after the character type, which adds a fun trivia element to his filmography. Ferrell also has a rich history in comedic partnerships, making the duo’s collaborative potential particularly exciting.
The film’s premise promises a mix of humor and action, tapping into a beloved genre that audiences continue to enjoy. This venture by Gosling and Ferrell is likely to captivate viewers seeking lighthearted entertainment, especially as it reinforces themes of freedom and self-determination.
