“Project Hail Mary” hits theaters on March 20. With it, Lord and Miller are helming their first film since 2014’s “22 Jump Street” (they’ve otherwise kept busy by producing Sony Animation’s “Spider-Verse” trilogy, “Cocaine Bear,” “The Mitchells vs. the Machines” and more).

The sci-fi drama "Project Hail Mary" debuted its first 5 minutes of a freaked-out Ryan Gosling at Comic-Con, plus showed a glimpse of alien pal Rocky.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Comic-Con got a lot of Ryan and a little bit of Rocky at a panel on “Project: Hail Mary,” the forthcoming film that’s equal parts space adventure, real-science deep-dive, broad comedy and relationship drama.

Ryan Gosling, directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, author Andy Weir and screenwriter Drew Goddard debuted various clips from the first third of the sci-fi movie that hits theaters March 20, 2026. Gosling stars as Ryland Grace, a middle school teacher who finds himself in outer space and tasked with saving humanity.

Project Hail Mary star Ryan Gosling had Hall H in stitches Saturday afternoon at Comic-Con 2025. In addition to Gosling, author Andy Weir and screenwriter Drew Goddard were on today’s dais with Lord and Miller in conversation with Joshua Horowitz.

The film serves as an adaptation of the Andy Weir novel of the same name, and stars Ryan Gosling as Ryland Grace, a middle school teacher who just so happens to have a doctorate in molecular biology and becomes the reluctant member of a crew who is tasked with figuring out why the sun is dying.

Ryan Gosling has been one of the most bankable stars in Hollywood for several years now. With critical hits such as Blade Runner 2049, Barbie, and last year’s The Fall Guy under his belt, Project Hail Mary is almost certain to bring Gosling more success. The official synopsis of the movie reads:

"This was the most rewarding creative collaboration of our careers," co-director Christopher Miller told Hall H.

A few short weeks ago, directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller graced us with an extended first look at their upcoming sci-fi adaptation, Project Hail Mary. The three-minute trailer for a movie not coming out for nine months displayed supreme confidence in the project, and after watching it, you could see why.

At San Diego Comic-Con today, a very enthusiastic Hall H crowd greeted the team behind Project Hail Mary, the upcoming film based on the beloved book by The Martian author Andy Weir. Several scenes from early in the movie were shown,
