The Fall Guy will put the movie in Ryan Reynold and Hugh Jackman's Deadpool 3's former slot, which Marvel recently announced had moved to July 26 of next year. The Fall Guy revolves around Gosling's Colt Seavers, a battle-scarred stuntman who, having left the business a year earlier to focus on both his physical and mental health, is drafted back into service when the star of a mega-budget studio movie--being directed by his ex, Jody Moreno (Blunt), goes missing.
