Ryan Gosling's recent work spans two major projects. In July 2026, his sci-fi film Project Hail Mary began streaming on Prime Video, following a theatrical release on March 20. The film, based on Andy Weir's novel, stars Gosling as Ryland Grace, a science teacher who wakes on a spaceship with amnesia. Directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, with a screenplay by Drew Goddard, Gosling also produced and was the primary advocate for the adaptation, having read the manuscript before publication and urged the studio to hire Lord and Miller.

Project Hail Mary had a strong box office run, earning approximately $141 million worldwide in its opening weekend, the biggest opening for a Hollywood film in 2026 at that time, and its global box office exceeded 110 billion yen. The film became available for rental or purchase on Prime Video on May 13, and began streaming on July 3.

In August 2026, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige announced at Comic-Con International that Gosling will star in a new Ghost Rider film, joining the MCU. Shawn Levy, director of Deadpool & Wolverine, will direct. The film is scheduled for a US theatrical release in 2028.
