“Ted Lasso” star Hannah Waddingham has joined the cast of Ryan Gosling’s adventure feature “The Fall Guy” at Universal Pictures.
She joins a cast that includes Emily Blunt, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Stephanie Hsu and Winston Duke in a film inspired by the Lee Majors-led 1980s television series.
“Bullet Train” director David Leitch is helming the action feature, which is currently shooting in Australia.
Drew Pearce pens the film that focuses on a battered and past-his-prime stuntman (Gosling) who finds himself back on a movie with the star (Taylor-Johnson) for whom he doubled long ago and who replaced him.
The wrinkle, however, is that the star has gone missing. Waddingham will play the producer of the movie, which is now in trouble.
Duke is the stuntman’s best friend, Hsu is the missing star’s assistant, and Blunt is a prosthetic makeup artist who shares a romantic past with the stuntman.
Leitch and Kelly McCormick are producing.
