Ryan Gosling to Stone Age! Actor Confirmed for 'The Flintstones' Reboot

Ryan Gosling's career is currently experiencing an unprecedented surge, solidifying his status as a major Hollywood player. The three-time Oscar nominee, recently recognized for his role as Ken in "Barbie," has been central to some of the year's biggest cinematic events and is slated for an impressive lineup of upcoming blockbusters and production ventures.

Gosling recently starred in "Project Hail Mary," a sci-fi film based on the novel by Andy Weir, renowned for also writing "The Martian." Looking ahead, Gosling is set to feature in "Starfighter," a highly anticipated new Star Wars film directed by Shawn Levy, scheduled for release on May 28, 2027. This film is expected to be a significant theatrical event, with Disney hoping for strong box office performance. The cast for "Starfighter" includes notable actors such as Aaron Pierre, Amy Adams, Mia Goth, Matt Smith, Daniel Ings, and Simon Bird. Aaron Pierre is also currently appearing in the HBO original series "Lanterns" within the DCU.

Further expanding his blockbuster portfolio, Gosling will reunite with director Shawn Levy for the MCU's "Ghost Rider" movie in 2028, an announcement made recently at San Diego Comic-Con. His involvement in these major franchises highlights his growing influence in the industry, accumulating roles akin to "Infinity Stones."

Beyond his acting commitments, Gosling is also active as a producer through his banner, Open Invite. He and his producing partner, Jessie Henderson, are in the early stages of developing a live-action "Flintstones" movie for Warner Bros., which will focus on an adult Bamm-Bamm Rubble. The duo is actively seeking a writer for the project, with no confirmation yet on whether Gosling will also take on a starring role. Additionally, Gosling and Henderson are attached to produce "Love of Your Life," a new romance film starring Margaret Qualley and Aaron Pierre, set to launch next month at the Toronto International Film Festival.

In related entertainment news, Collider has presented an exclusive "Universe Personality Quiz" designed to help readers discover which iconic fictional universe they belong in most. The quiz explores five legendary universes: Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, and Star Trek. Through eight carefully crafted questions, it aims to align a user's instincts, values, and way of existing with the ideal world for them.

The questions delve into aspects such as a user's deepest sense of meaning (Purpose), preferred environment (World), conflict resolution style (Conflict), ideal companions (Companions), relationship with power (Power), views on good and evil (Morality), natural role (Role), and ultimate beliefs about the future (Hope).

Based on the responses, the quiz offers detailed insights into which universe truly resonates. For instance, those who believe in fighting for freedom and moral clarity often belong in "A Galaxy Far, Far Away" (Star Wars). Individuals who value the journey, friendship, and protecting beauty, even at great cost, are likely destined for "Middle-earth" (Lord of the Rings). The "Wizarding World" (Harry Potter) is for those who prioritize love, loyalty, and doing what's right. "Westeros" (Game of Thrones) suits realists who understand power structures and thrive on strategy and adaptability. Finally, "The United Federation of Planets" (Star Trek) is home to optimists who believe in building a future through curiosity, cooperation, and understanding.
