Emma Stone may be heading to another superhero movie alongside Matt Damon. A new rumor claims the Oscar winner is being considered for a mystery project.
Very little is officially known about the film so far, but it has already attracted attention because of the creative team behind it. If the talks come together, the movie could reunite two of Hollywood’s biggest stars in an unusual genre blend.
Emma Stone rumored for the Daniels’ mystery superhero project
A fresh rumor from insider Daniel Richtman suggests Emma Stone could be heading to an intriguing new project. According to the rumor, she’s being considered to star alongside Matt Damon in an untitled sci-fi superhero movie from Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, the filmmaking duo better known as the Daniels. Damon is said to be lined up for the lead role after Ryan Gosling reportedly stepped away from the project (via Comic Book Movie).
Plot details are still being kept under lock and key, but the movie is reportedly shaping up as a huge event film blending sci-fi, action, and comedy. One of the more surprising rumors floating around is that global warming serves as the story’s big threat. Meanwhile, World of Reel claims the film jumps between two timelines. One storyline is said to take place in the ’80s and follow a group of teenagers. Matt Damon is reportedly set to play one of their dads, while Emma Stone could end up playing another parent. Notably, these details are to be taken with a grain of salt, as they are not officially confirmed.
Universal Pictures is reportedly going big on the project, with a budget said to be around $150 million. The studio is apparently hunting for A-list names who can adapt to the Daniels’ offbeat style while helping lead a cast packed with younger actors.
But it seems Emma Stone checks that box. She’s no stranger to superhero movies, having played Gwen Stacy in The Amazing Spider-Man films alongside Andrew Garfield. Since then, she’s stacked up an impressive résumé with hits like La La Land, Poor Things, Cruella, and The Favourite. Meanwhile, the Daniels’ last feature, Everything Everywhere All at Once, became an awards juggernaut, winning Best Picture and Best Director at the 95th Academy Awards.
