Ryan Gosling Says Being a Teacher Is a “Superpower” in ‘Project Hail Mary’ [Exclusive]

Ryland is sent on a deep space mission to study a star that’s behaving strangely – it hasn’t begun to fade like others. He’s tasked with discovering what makes it unique and sharing his findings. During his journey, he encounters an intelligent alien resembling a spider, who is investigating the same star. This alien has a rocky outer shell, so Ryland nicknames him Rocky, and the two form an unlikely but strong bond. When MovieWeb recently spoke with Gosling about the film, we asked him how his background as a teacher informed Ryland’s connection with his new alien companion.
