2026 has been an up-and-down year for sci-fi movies, but the biggest pure hit of the year so far has been Project Hail Mary. The film is based on the novel of the same name by Andy Weir, who also penned the book that inspired Ridley Scott’s 2015 sci-fi masterpiece, The Martian, starring Matt Damon. Amazon MGM recruited Ryan Gosling to star in the film, who is not-so-quietly becoming one of the most bankable A-list stars in the world in recent years. Gosling recently headlined Barbie with Margot Robbie, which earned him an Oscar nod and also contributed well over $1 billion to his career box office total. After guiding Project Hail Mary to over $600 million at the box office, Gosling is officially joining the MCU for a new Ghost Rider movie from director Shawn Levy coming to theaters in 2028.
Fans have been asking questions all year about a Project Hail Mary sequel, and while Amazon has yet to officially green-light another film, there is a new continuation of Ryland Grace’s story coming soon to be excited about. VR developer Maze Theory has officially announced a new immersive experience, Project Hail Mary: Journey Among The Stars, which is set to launch later this year on Meta Quest 3, Android XR, and Pico. Project Hail Mary: Journey Among The Stars will see players step into Ryland Grace’s shoes during a part of his adventure that’s never been told, as he works with Rocky aboard the Hail Mary ship to keep things running smoothly while interacting with objects in zero gravity and communicating with your new Eridian best friend. Project Hail Mary directors Chris Miller and Phil Lord, as well as author Andy Weir, are 100% behind the project.
