The Martian might star Matt Damon, definitely won't be directed by Drew Goddard
In “you win some, you lose some” news for Fox, the studio has bid adieu to director Drew Goddard, but potentially welcomed Matt Damon as the new star of its upcoming sci-fi film, The Martian. As recently reported The Cabin In The Woods filmmaker recently signed on to direct The Sinister Six, as well as Netflix’s Daredevil series, and Fox reportedly didn’t want to push back its Martian timeline to accommodate his suddenly very busy schedule. Damon, meanwhile, is currently the top choice for the film’s protagonist—an astronaut who becomes stranded on Mars and attempts to survive long enough to return to Earth.
