Matt Damon is in talks to team up with the filmmakers behind Everything Everywhere All at Once for his next project.
The actor is being eyed to star in Universal Pictures' upcoming, untitled event film from directors Daniels, ABC Audio has learned.
Universal Pictures had no comment when reached by ABC Audio.
Damon would replace Ryan Gosling in the project. Gosling was announced to star in the film back in March, although he dropped out of the project in April due to scheduling reasons.
This upcoming event film marks the first directing project for Daniels, the filmmaking duo of Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, since sweeping the 95th Oscars in 2023 for their groundbreaking film Everything Everywhere All at Once. That movie walked away with seven Oscars, including best picture, best actress, best supporting actor, best director and best supporting actress.
While plot details of the upcoming film remain under wraps, production on the project is expected to start in Los Angeles in the summer.
Kwan, Scheinert and Jonathan Wang will produce the movie through their Playgrounds overall deal with Universal Pictures.

Quinta Brunson is taking on the role of Betty Boop.
The actress, creator, writer and producer is developing and set to star in a film adaptation of the cartoon icon, ABC Audio has confirmed.
The upcoming movie is set to trace the origin and evolution of Betty Boop through the perspective of her creator, Max Fleischer. It will examine the relationship between art and the artist as Max Fleischer navigates the pressures of creating one of the world's first animated icons, "especially when that icon begins to take on a life of its own," according to the film's official logline.
The movie will be Betty Boop's first starring role in a theatrical film since the 1930s, when she came from Fleischer Studios' Talkartoons series and was the only animated, independent female movie star of the era. Brunson will produce through her banner Fifth Chance Productions and has partnered with Mark Fleischer of Fleischer Studios for the project. Erin Wehrenberg is overseeing for Fifth Chance Productions.
"Betty Boop is one of our nation’s most beloved cartoon characters, yet somehow still remains pleasantly niche. She has had a quiet but undeniable impact on culture for nearly a century," Brunson said. "After Erin and I met with Mark and learned more about his grandfather’s creation of Betty, I realized there was a much deeper story to tell. One that could be explored in a way that feels refreshing, subversive, and timeless, much like Betty herself.”
Mark Fleischer said when Brunson first approached him with her idea for the film, he "was breath-taken."
"Quinta so embodies Betty’s love of life, intelligence, humor, sassiness and compassion that the relationship between her as Betty and Max burst into life at its mere mention,” Mark Fleischer said.

James Lafferty is open to competing on Dancing with the Stars. That is, under one condition.
The One Tree Hill star said in a recent TikTok that if his series Everyone Is Doing Great reaches the most-watched chart on Netflix, he will lace up his dancing shoes and compete on season 35 of the reality competition show.
"I've been thinking a lot about this and I'm going to do it. Yeah, I'm going to do Dancing with the Stars. I'm down," Lafferty said. "I have one condition: that Everyone Is Doing Great makes the top 10 TV shows on Netflix in the U.S."
The actor told his fans, "How do we make that happen? We watch the show. We finish the show. We tell friends about the show. Most importantly, we hit the double thumbs-up on the show page on Netflix. I think if enough people do those things, or some of those things, we can make this happen."
Everyone Is Doing Great is a comedy series Lafferty created with his One Tree Hill costar Stephen Colletti. Netflix acquired the global rights to the show in 2026 and released its first two seasons on May 11.
Dancing with the Stars pro Ezra Sosa shared his thoughts on the possible casting, commenting, "he's hot im down." Lafferty responded by saying Sosa is "very kind" and that he's "not so bad yourself."
While Lafferty is looking to get a third season of Everyone Is Doing Great, he says he's also really interested in competing on DWTS.
"I want both things to happen because I am a terrible dancer and I've always wanted to fix that and I think Ezra can help me," Lafferty said. "I think everybody wins here."
Dancing with the Stars season 35 currently has three contestants confirmed: Maura Higgins, Ciara Miller and Savannah Bananas player Jackson Olson.

Prime Video has cast Nancy Surridge, Conor Sánchez, James O’Donoghue and Sophie McGibbon as the main cast in this adaptation of Irish author Chloe Walsh's bestselling romance book series. They will play the characters Shannon Lynch, Johnny Kavanagh, Joey Lynch and Aoife Molloy, respectively.

The show will be directed by Brendan Canty and was adapted by Poppy Cogan. It's based on the first two books in Walsh's series.

Poppy has done an amazing job adapting Chloe’s beloved books, and the way both writers capture young people’s lives with such empathy, tenderness and honesty feels truly extraordinary to me," Canty said in a press release. "To do justice to the world they’ve created, we knew that finding the right cast was going to be everything. We searched far and wide, receiving over 3,000 casting suggestions from across the UK and Ireland, but from the moment Nancy, Conor, James and Sophie walked into the room, it was clear we’d found something beyond special. Each of them brings the spirit and emotional depth this story demands, and I couldn’t be more excited to bring Chloe’s world to the screen with this extraordinary young cast."
