Hollywood actor Ryan Gosling has exited an upcoming project from the Oscar-winning directors of Everything Everywhere All at Once, Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert.

Scheduling conflicts
Scheduling conflicts led to Gosling's exit
Gosling's packed schedule was reportedly the main reason for his exit. After an extensive global press tour for his recent sci-fi film Project Hail Mary, he couldn't fit into the directors' filming window in Los Angeles this summer. Despite attempts to adjust timelines, production couldn't be reworked to accommodate his availability. The film was originally slated for a June 2027 release before being pushed to November 2027.
Production details
Kwan and Scheinert continue with the film
Despite Gosling's departure, Kwan and Scheinert will continue to direct and produce the untitled film with Jonathan Wang. The duo, who gained global acclaim with Everything Everywhere All at Once, are expected to move forward with casting a replacement. Their previous film earned over $100 million globally and won seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture. The Daniels first gained attention with their 2016 debut, Swiss Army Man.
