Article Summary

The Fall Guy leaps from March to May 3, 2024, after Deadpool 3 vacates the spot.
Director David Leitch helms the film, inspired by the 1980s TV series.
Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt lead the star-studded ensemble cast.
Universal snagged the prime early May release, typically a lucrative slot.

We just got our first look at The Fall Guy, the new film from director David Leitch, earlier this month, and now the film is getting a release date shift. In this case, we don't really blame anyone involved for this. Disney shifted its entire slate a few days ago, and with that, some prime real estate opened up for someone else to jump on. So, while Deadpool 3 might have left May to head to July 2024, The Fall Guy could move from March 1, 2024, to May 3, 2024, according to Variety. The concept of whether or not there is even an off-season anymore regarding film releases is up for debate, but there are some times that seem to do better than others, and the beginning of May is one of those times. So it's not surprising that Universal jumped on the chance to get this vacated release date.
