A new report fromDeadlinerevealed thatProject Hail Mary, the film adaptation ofAndy Weir’s #1 New York Times Bestseller of the same name, will release in theaters July 12, 2025.

The report also claims that the movie will befilmed for IMAX.
Gosling has been a recognizable face in Hollywood for quite some time, but his recent role asKen inGreta Gerwig’sBarbiecatapulted him into a realm of superstardom achieved by few and maintained by fewer. Gosling has been nominated for three Oscars for his performances inBarbie,La La Land, andHalf Nelson, but has yet to claim gold. With a story similar to one of Weir’s other novels-turned-adaptations,The Martian, Gosling will play a character likeMatt Damon’s stranded astronaut Mark Watney, who was nominated but didn’t win.The Martianwas nominated for seven Oscars in total, but didn’t win any, andProject Hail Maryshould be on everyone’s radar with major potential for gold at the Academy Awards if adapted faithfully.
What Is ‘Project Hail Mary’ About?
Project Hail Marytells the story of Ryland Grace, a school teacher who left behind a promising career as a brilliant scientist after getting into a major dispute against some of the brightest (and most powerful) minds in Academia. His life is turned upside down when he wakes up on a spaceship with no memory of who he is, or why he’s there. As he pieces together the puzzle that led him to this moment, he begins to understand and grapple with just how important his mission is and how many people are counting on him. At its core,Project Hail Maryis about heart, determination, unlikely friendship, the limits of the human body and mind, and not letting who we are in our weakest moments define us.Gosling is a certified star and magnetic performer, and his role as Ryland Grace inProject Hail Maryis all but guaranteed to be one of his best yet.
Project Hail Maryarrives in theaters on August 20, 2025. Gosling’s next film,The Fall Guy, withEmily Blunt,Aaron Taylor-Johnson,Hannah Waddingham, andWinston Dukepremieres May 3.
