Project Hail Maryauthor Andy Weir told Polygon that there was a lot of debate about whether the trailer for the adaptation of his 2021 should reveal that the film prominently features an alien astronaut. The creature, dubbed Rocky by American science teacher turned reluctant astronaut Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling), made his first appearance at the end of the film’s teaser trailer, had more screen time in the follow-up shared in November, and got a voice in the final trailer for the film, which arrives in theaters on March 20.
