Universal used the mega Super Bowl platform to promote one of its big summer movies, the Ryan Gosling-Emily Blunt action comedy The Fall Guy.

The reimagining of the ’80s TV series starring Lee Majors hits theaters on May 3, after it has its world premiere next month as the centerpiece film at SXSW.

The Super Bowl ad featured Gosling crying to Taylor Swift’s “All Too Well.”

It is expected to be one of the films that launches the summer movie season that will be in need of hits.

The movie centers on Gosling’s Colt Seavers, a battle-scarred stuntman who, having left the business a year earlier to focus on both his physical and mental health, is drafted back into service when the star of a mega-budget studio movie being directed by his ex, Jody Moreno (Blunt), goes missing.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Winston Duke, Stephanie Hsu, Hannah Waddingham and Teresa Palmer also star in the pic, which David Leitch is directing from a script by Drew Pearce. The latter pair reteams after working together on Universal’s Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw.

Leitch, who knows action having also helmed John Wick and Deadpool 2, has a special spot for the subject matter, as he was a onetime stuntman.

“I was excited to make a movie that portrayed the lives of stunt people,” he told the crowd at CinemaCon last year when introducing the first look at the film. “It’s very dear to me.”

Blunt is playing a prosthetic makeup artist who has a romantic history with Gosling's stunt guy. The film also stars Hannah Waddingham, who plays the producer of the troubled film while Winston Duke plays the stuntman's best friend. Stephanie Hsu plays the missing movie star's assistant. while Aaron Taylor-Johnson plays the missing star, Tom Ryder. Kelly McCormick is partnering as a producer on the project with a script from Drew Pearce who also worked with Leitch on Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw.

Here's the Official Synopsis for The Fall Guy
Here's how Universal describes The Fall Guy: "He's a stuntman, and like everyone in the stunt community, he gets blown up, shot, crashed, thrown through windows, and dropped from the highest of heights, all for our entertainment. And now, fresh off an almost career-ending accident, this working-class hero has to track down a missing movie star, solve a conspiracy and try to win back the love of his life while still doing his day job. What could possibly go right?

From real life stunt man and director David Leitch, the blockbuster director of Bullet Train, Deadpool 2, Atomic Blonde and Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw and the producer of John Wick, Nobody, and Violent Night, comes his most personal film yet. A new hilarious, hard-driving, all-star apex-action thriller, and love letter to action movies and the hard-working and under-appreciated crew of people who make them: The Fall Guy."

The Fall Guy opens in theaters May 3rd.
