The anticipated sequel to the 2016 action comedy ‘The Nice Guys’ remains uncertain, despite fan anticipation. Director Shane Black has previously hinted at the possibility of a sequel titled ‘The Mexican Detectives’ with Ryan Gosling. However, plans for a TV spin-off also fell through. The film’s underperformance at the box office, particularly against ‘Angry Birds,’ may have played a role in the lack of a sequel.
Shane Black’s ‘The Nice Guys,’ starring Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe, failed to impress at the box office despite critical acclaim, leaving Gosling skeptical about the possibility of a sequel. In a recent interview, Gosling attributed the film’s poor performance to its unfortunate release date, coinciding with the wildly popular ‘Angry Birds’ movie. Black had previously envisioned ‘The Nice Guys’ as a television show, but the idea faced rejection, leading to its reworking as a film.
Ryan Gosling has revealed that he doesn’t think a sequel to the 2016 neo-noir buddy comedy movie ‘The Nice Guys’ will ever happen. Gosling believes that the film’s lackluster opening weekend performance, particularly against the success of ‘Angry Birds,’ contributed to the decision. Despite its initial poor box office performance, ‘The Nice Guys’ has gained a cult following since its release, with discussions of a potential sequel surfacing over the years.
