Holders of hope for a sequel to ‘The Nice Guys’ may need to prepare for disappointment after Ryan Gosling shared his perspective. In an interview, Gosling explained that a sequel’s viability often hinges on a movie’s opening weekend performance, and ‘The Nice Guys’ faced a formidable opponent in ‘Angry Birds.’ The animated film’s overwhelming box office success reportedly diminished the chances of a follow-up for ‘The Nice Guys.’
Despite director Shane Black’s previous enthusiasm for a sequel, the lackluster opening weekend results have cast a shadow over its potential realization. Gosling’s admission further cements the notion that a ‘The Nice Guys’ sequel may remain elusive.
In other Gosling-related news, the actor is set to appear in ‘The Fall Guy,’ an action-comedy adaptation of the 1980s television series. Gosling portrays Colt Seavers, an aging stuntman who finds himself embroiled in a mystery involving his ex-girlfriend’s film production. Keep an eye out for ‘The Fall Guy,’ hitting theaters on May 3rd, 2024.
