Amazon MGM Studios released the official trailer for the new Ryan Gosling movie, Project Hail Mary, on Monday, June 30, 2025, nine months before the movie's premiere. The 3-minute trailer offers the first look at Gosling as shaggy-haired Ryland Grace and his interstellar adventure.

In space, he "wakes up from a coma" several light years from his apartment with a disclaimer: "I'm not an astronaut." The trailer provides the background for Ryan Gosling's character, which includes a flashback to the time when he was still on Earth.

He was recruited for a special mission to space, and while his mantra was, "I'm not an astronaut," he had to go or else he would die with the rest of humanity. In the description, the trailer teases:

What Project Hail Mary is all about and everything else to know about the film

In the upcoming sci-fi movie based on Andy Weir's novel, Ryan Gosling stars as science teacher-turned-astronaut Ryland Grace, aka "the only solution" to save humanity from extinction. The official trailer, Amazon MGM Studios, which was released on June 30, 2025, showed the basic plotline of the upcoming movie, starting with the sun dying.

It turns out that the sun is not the only star dying—every star in the universe is dying except one, and no one knows why. The space mission includes visiting the non-infected star, called Tau Ceti, and discover more about it, in a bid to save Earth.

It's a long shot, and astronauts can die in space during the travel, but unless they try to find a solution, everything on Earth will go extinct. Ryan Gosling's character, however, is not keen on being the "solution," because as he says in the trailer:

"I put the not in astronaut."

He works as a science teacher in middle school, has a doctorate in molecular biology, and "conquered zero G in five hours." As seen in the trailer, Project Hail Mary promises space adventure, funny one-liners from Ryan Gosling's character, and a possible alien encounter.
