Both the theatrical version of The Fall Guy and The Fall Guy: The Extended Cut are now available to stream on Peacock starting today, August 30th. The Extended Cut includes an additional 20 minutes of the film not previously seen in theaters. There’s also been discussions about a sequel to The Fall Guy. “Oh yeah. We already โ I mean,ย we love these characters so muchย that we wanted to know, just for ourselves, what happens to Colt and [Emily Blunt’s character] Jody after the movie ends? What’s the next phase for them? And we know exactly what it is. So hopefully the audience wants to know, too,” Gosling told The Fast Company. “The sequel sort of wrote itself. We already know [the story] intimately.ย We’re just hoping that people like this movie enoughย that we get to keep telling the story of these characters. We love them so much, and we love this world, and I feel confident that we can do it.”
