Ryan Gosling and Will Ferrell are teaming up for a new action-comedy titled Tough Guys, produced by Amazon MGM Studios, according to an exclusive report from Deadline.
The film follows two longtime henchmen who decide they’ve had enough of taking orders and strike out on their own in a quest for independence.
The screenplay comes from Daniel Gold, known for his work on Workin’ Moms, and was picked up as a spec script. While no director has been announced yet, the project has already generated strong industry buzz due to its cast and premise.
This marks the second collaboration between Gosling and Ferrell, who both appeared in 2023’s box office juggernaut Barbie.
Gosling received an Oscar nomination for his portrayal of Ken, while Ferrell played the over-the-top Mattel CEO. The duo’s chemistry was widely praised, setting the stage for their next comedic venture.
Tough Guys also continues a pattern of self-aware action roles for both stars. Gosling has headlined titles like The Nice Guys and The Fall Guy, while Ferrell is known for The Other Guys, among others. The film leans into this shared legacy, with the title itself offering a nod to their past comedic personas.
Production details and release timing for Tough Guys have yet to be announced, but the project has already drawn anticipation from fans of both actors.
