Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt are dishing on their new action-comedy "The Fall Guy."

"Extra's" Terri Seymour spoke with Ryan and Emily,  who expressed the need for a sequel so they can do a duet!

In "The Fall Guy," Emily's character does some karaoke, but Ryan isn't part of the scene since his character doesn't get to the bar in time.

Emily noted that she would have loved it if Ryan were a part of the karaoke scene, saying, "I could have done with a little help."

While Ryan suggested that Emily sing Meatloaf's "I'd Do Anything for Love (but I Won't Do That)," she went in a different direction.

Blunt quipped, "We'll do Meatloaf in the sequel."

Ryan was more than happy with the idea, saying, "Can I get a copy of this?"

"I'm in," Ryan added. "You don't have to twist my arm."

Emily noted, "As long as you take the high notes."

Referencing Gosling's recent showstopping performance of "I'm Just Ken" at the 2024 Oscars, Emily said, "We know he can sing… He needs his glittery pink number in order to sing."

"The Fall Guy" is a love letter to stunt doubles. Ryan said, "They risk so much for us, and they really just go uncredited. And when they're not doing stunts, they're also on set making sure everyone is safe and just doing safety, in general. They're just wonderful people and real artists and brilliant, and the way that they design these stunts and everything that goes into it… It's worth making a movie about, and it's been fun to sort of put the spotlight on them."

Emily added, "I think this movie was the full embrace of stunts, being done practically and in the old-school way, and to celebrate that way of doing things 'cause CGI can be helpful but it's used so limitlessly that these guys don't get a chance to show their extraordinary skills."

While Ryan credits his stunt doubles for doing all the "cool" scenes, he did a scary stunt at the very beginning of the movie where his character does a 12-story fall. He admitted, "This character is someone that's not afraid of this, but I myself was very afraid of this, so I added at the end, right before I do it, I put on sunglasses for no reason except that you can see the fear in my eyes."

In the movie, Emily plays a director, seemingly inspired by "Barbie" director Greta Gerwig. Emily commented, "The pink is a bit of a nod to Greta."

"I was asked if she was more [Christopher] Nolan or [Greta] Gerwig. I think more Gerwig but I haven't been seen Chris Nolan in a pink jumpsuit," Blunt went on. "I quite like to. It could be fun."

Ryan, who starred in "Barbie," and Emily, who starred in "Oppenheimer," joked about not being over their Barbenheimer rivalry, which they say is still "alive and kicking."

"The Fall Guy" is in theaters May 3.
