Emily Blunt as Jody wearing headphones next to Ryan Gosling as Colt giving a thumbs up from The Fall Guy (2024)

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary The Fall Guy's ending includes a cameo from a major Hollywood actor that completely captures the film's meta tone. With the film kicking off the summer movie season, the question of where to watch The Fall Guy is prevalent.

From the film's fun tone, incredible action, much-needed stunt appreciation, and The Fall Guy's charming cast, it has long been one of the more anticipated movies of 2024. The cast especially is a big draw for The Fall Guy, with Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt making for an amazingly charismatic duo. With Gosling especially coming off of the back of the biggest movie in 2023, Barbie, studio execs will be hoping The Fall Guy's box office can be bolstered by its star-studded ensemble. Despite the film's credited cast members providing a lot of excitement, it also includes a series of brilliant cameos, with one standing out due to its earlier setup, its connection to the film's meta tone, and even the potential teasing of a sequel to The Fall Guy. Related The Fall Guy Cast & Character Guide David Leitch's The Fall Guy reimagines the '80s TV show of the same name with a cast that includes multiple Oscar nominees and MCU stars. Jason Momoa Cameos In The Fall Guy's Ending As Himself Momoa Is The New Star Of Metalstorm In The Fall Guy's ending, Jason Momoa makes a cameo appearance. The film centers around Ryan Gosling's titular stuntman - Colt Seavers - searching for the missing star of a movie called Metalstorm, directed by Emily Blunt's character Jody. Colt becomes wrapped up in a conspiracy that results in the revelation that the missing star, Aaron Taylor Johnson's Tom Ryder, killed another stuntman. Eventually, Ryder is fired from Metalstorm and arrested, paving the way for Momoa's cameo. The Fall Guy's ending reveals that Momoa is the actor hired to replace Tom Ryder in the lead role of Jody's movie. This means that the former is playing a meta, fictionalized version of himself in The Fall Guy, acting in Jody's movie Metalstorm. With The Fall Guy's film-within-a-film story being self-referential, hiring Momoa to play himself perfectly matches the film's tone. The explanation for the cameo even extends into The Fall Guy's post-credits scene. The Fall Guy teased Momoa's cameo earlier in the film when Colt finds a sticky note from Ryder reading "Is it Momoa or Mamoa?" Jason Momoa's The Fall Guy Cameo Sets Up A Role In The Sequel Jason Momoa Can Return In The Fall Guy 2 Although Momoa's cameo in The Fall Guy is a fun gag in its own right, it could also set up a story for The Fall Guy 2. A sequel to The Fall Guy has not been confirmed, though Momoa's inclusion could lead to a continuation. The first film centered around Colt being wrapped up in the drama of Ryder's life, something that could easily continue if Momoa was utilized in a sequel. Not only would this allow a perfect on-screen duo in Jason Momoa and Ryan Gosling, but it would also continue The Fall Guy's meta sense of humor. Having Momoa in a larger role as a fictionalized version of himself could lead to some fantastic self-referential comedy. If this was the case, The Fall Guy 2 could continue the first movie's story of having Colt embroiled in an actor's business, though potentially with the notable change of Momoa not being the villain. This would allow a potential sequel to The Fall Guy to feel familiar yet fresh, all while capitalizing on Momoa's hilarious cameo from the first movie. The Fall Guy The Fall Guy is an action thriller from Bullet Train and Deadpool 2 director David Leitch. Ryan Gosling stars as a stuntman who is forced to find a missing movie star, investigate a conspiracy, and repair his relationship with the love of his life.
