Winston Duke will probably always be known for playing M’Baku as part of the MCU, just as he will again in next week’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. But he’s actually built quite a career outside of Marvel, in films such as Jordan Peele’s Us, Nine Days, and Spenser Confidential. And now he’s added what will probably be another franchise to his credit, joining Ryan Gosling for a big screen version of The Fall Guy.
THR reports that Winston Duke has joined Ryan Gosling, Emily Blunt, and fellow MCU alum Aaron Taylor-Johnson for The Fall Guy. Stepping up to direct is Bullet Train filmmaker David Leitch, with a script by Drew Pearce.
The Fall Guy centers on a Hollywood stuntman who doubles as a bounty hunter. He finds himself working for a star he doubled for years earlier, only for that star to suddenly go missing.
