Ever since I watched Project Hail Mary, which is definitely one of the strongest 2026 movie releases so far, I’ve understandably been on a Ryan Gosling kick, and wanting to see more out of the actor. I mean let’s face it, between films like La La Land and Barbie the guy knows how to pick ‘em. Sure, he’s already got Star Wars: Starfighter on the way, but I was looking forward to another movie where his involvement sadly went south.
Now that more details has surfaced pertaining to why he left, as well as the A-lister replacing him, I'm still moody about it all, but am glad to have more clarity about what happened.
