Project Hail Mary trailer confirms it's my most eagerly-awaited new sci-fi movie of 2026, but I wish it didn't ruin its biggest surprise

• A second trailer for Project Hail Mary has been released
• It gives away a big surprise from the story
• The new sci-fi movie releases in theaters on March 20, 2026

A new trailer for the highly anticipated sci-fi movie Project Hail Mary has been released, but it gives away a big spoiler from the story.

Adapted from Andy Weir's novel of the same name, the new film will see Ryan Gosling play Ryland Grace, a science teacher who wakes up on a spaceship without any memory of who he is or how he got there.

Such a mysterious opening premise means that the story unfolds piece by piece as Grace slowly regains his memory about himself and, crucially, why he's found himself on a spaceship light-years away from Earth.
