Amazon MGM Studios has released the official Project Hail Mary trailer for its new sci-fi epic based on Andy Weir’s 2021 novel of the same name. It is currently slated to arrive in theaters on March 20, 2026.

“Science teacher Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling) wakes up on a spaceship light years from home with no recollection of who he is or how he got there. As his memory returns, he begins to uncover his mission: solve the riddle of the mysterious substance causing the sun to die out. He must call on his scientific knowledge and unorthodox ideas to save everything on Earth from extinction… but an unexpected friendship means he may not have to do it alone,” says the synopsis.

Who is in the Project Hail Mary trailer?

The video introduces Academy Award nominee Ryan Gosling as an astronaut who wakes up in a spacecraft with sudden amnesia. This marks the second time that the Barbie actor will be playing an astronaut after previously starring in 2018’s Neil Armstrong biopic, First Man. Besides Gosling, the cast also includes Oscar nominee Sandra Hüller (Anatomy of a Fall, The Zone of Interest), Milana Vayntrub (This Is Us, Werewolves Within), Bastian Antonio Fuentes (Jurassic World Dominion), Isla McRae (The Christmas Quest), and James Wright (How to Train A Princess).

Project Hail Mary is directed by Oscar-winning filmmaking duo Phil Lord and Christopher Miller from a screenplay written by Drew Goddard. According to Goddard, fans of Matt Damon’s The Martian will like what they have in store for the upcoming sci-fi feature due to its similar tone. It is produced by Lord, Miller, Gosling, Weir, Amy Pascal, and more.
