Ryan Gosling is finally getting the LEGO treatment. According to a credible leaker, a new LEGO set based on the upcoming sci-fi film Project Hail Mary is in development, and it will feature the first-ever LEGO minifigure of the Hollywood A-lister.
Here’s everything we know about this exciting LEGO Icons set, including the full leaked details, pricing, what minifigures are included, and why this could be just the beginning of Ryan Gosling’s LEGO journey.
What Is Project Hail Mary?
Before diving into the LEGO set details, let’s set the stage for what Project Hail Mary actually is.
The movie:
- Release date: March 20, 2026
- Star: Ryan Gosling as Dr. Ryland Grace
- Based on: The 2021 novel by Andy Weir (author of The Martian)
- Genre: Hard science fiction
The plot: Dr. Ryland Grace, a former molecular biologist, is enlisted to help save humanity after scientists discover the Sun is dimming at an accelerated rate—one that would trigger a planet-wide ice age within 30 years. Similar dimming is observed in nearby stars, with one critical exception.
Grace is sent on a one-way mission that begins with him in a chemically induced coma. His objective: investigate the anomalous star and transmit any potentially world-saving findings back to Earth via unmanned probes.
If you loved The Martian (both the book and Matt Damon film), Project Hail Mary delivers that same blend of science-grounded problem-solving, humor, and survival against impossible odds.
Complete Project Hail Mary LEGO Set Details (Leaked)
Reliable LEGO leaker ac_bricks_03 shared comprehensive details about the upcoming set on Instagram in late December 2025.
Official Specifications:
Basic Info:
- Theme: LEGO Icons
- Set Name: Project Hail Mary
- Set Number: 11389
- Piece Count: 826 pieces
- Price: $90–$100 USD
- Release Window: March 2026 (likely around the movie’s March 20 premiere)
- Age Rating: Unknown (most LEGO Icons sets are rated 18+)
Minifigures Included (2 total):
- Ryland Grace (played by Ryan Gosling) – This marks Ryan Gosling’s first-ever LEGO minifigure
- Rocky (portrayed by James Ortiz) – A character whose appearance in the first trailer sparked debate among fans about potential plot spoilers
What Is LEGO Icons?
For those unfamiliar, LEGO Icons is a theme focused on complex, adult-oriented builds designed primarily for display rather than play. These sets typically feature:
- Higher detail and complexity
- Display-focused designs
- 18+ age ratings in most cases
- Licensed and original themes
- Premium pricing relative to piece count
Think sets like the Bonsai Tree, Typewriter, or various vehicle replicas. They’re meant to sit on your desk or shelf as conversation pieces.
Pricing Analysis: Is $90-$100 Reasonable?
At 826 pieces with a rumored $90–$100 price tag, how does this Project Hail Mary set stack up against other LEGO Icons products?
Comparable LEGO Icons sets:
Similar price, fewer pieces:
- Bonsai Tree (10281): 878 pieces, $49.99 (best value)
- Bumblebee (10338): 950 pieces, $89.99 (licensed set)
Higher price, slightly more pieces:
- Holiday Express Train (10361): 956 pieces, $129.99
Licensed F1 sets (lower price):
- McLaren MP4/4 with Ayrton Senna: 693 pieces, $79.99
- Williams Racing FW14B with Nigel Mansell: 799 pieces, $79.99
The verdict: A $90–$100 price point appears consistent for an 826-piece licensed LEGO Icons set tied to a major film release. Licensed sets typically carry a small premium compared to non-licensed products of similar size.
Given that this set includes two minifigures (including Ryan Gosling’s first LEGO appearance) and is tied to a major theatrical release, the pricing falls right in line with expectations.
Source Credibility: Can We Trust This Leak?
How reliable is ac_bricks_03, the leaker behind these claims?
Track Record
While ac_bricks_03 isn’t the most prolific LEGO leaker online, their accuracy is impressive. In recent years, they’ve shared accurate advance details about numerous sets, including:
Confirmed past leaks:
- 40580 Blacktron Cruiser
- 40583 Houses of the World
- 40575 Year of the Rabbit
- 40581 Bionicle
- 42126 Ford F-150 Raptor
- 40452 Hogwarts Gryffindor Dorms
Their scoops have covered both regular retail products and gift-with-purchase sets, demonstrating access to reliable sources within the LEGO supply chain.
Bottom line: This source has earned credibility through consistent accuracy. While nothing is confirmed until LEGO makes an official announcement, this leak has a high probability of being accurate.
What Will the Set Look Like?
While we don’t have images yet, we can make educated guesses based on the source material and LEGO Icons’ typical approach.
Likely elements:
- A spacecraft or station build (given the space exploration theme)
- Interior details showcasing key movie locations
- Display stand or base (common in Icons sets)
- Possible transparent elements for space/sci-fi aesthetics
- High attention to detail befitting the 18+ Icons theme
At 826 pieces, this won’t be a massive build like the UCS Millennium Falcon, but it should offer satisfying complexity and display presence typical of mid-sized Icons sets.
Rocky’s Inclusion: Spoiler Territory?
The inclusion of Rocky as a minifigure is interesting and potentially controversial.
When Rocky appeared in the first Project Hail Mary trailer (released in June 2025), it sparked debate among book fans about whether the marketing revealed too much of the plot. Without spoiling anything for those who haven’t read the book, Rocky’s presence is significant to the story.
By including Rocky as a minifigure, LEGO is essentially confirming elements of the plot that some might consider spoilers. Then again, if the character appeared in the official trailer, that ship has likely already sailed.
This Won’t Be Ryan Gosling’s Only LEGO Minifigure
While the Project Hail Mary set marks Ryan Gosling’s LEGO debut, it probably won’t be his only appearance in brick form.
Star Wars: Starfighter Is Coming
In April 2025, Gosling was announced as the lead in Star Wars: Starfighter, another space-focused film—this time set in Lucasfilm’s galaxy far, far away.
Star Wars: Starfighter details:
- Director: Shawn Levy
- Star: Ryan Gosling (lead role)
- Release date: May 28, 2027
- Studio: Disney/Lucasfilm
Why this matters for LEGO: New Star Wars movies and TV shows are almost always accompanied by official LEGO sets. Exceptions like Star Wars: Visions and The Acolyte are rare.
Given Gosling’s A-list status and Star Wars’ massive merchandising machine, it’s virtually guaranteed that Star Wars: Starfighter will receive multiple LEGO sets—and at least one will feature a Gosling minifigure.
Translation: We could see at least two Ryan Gosling LEGO minifigures within a roughly one-year span (March 2026 and sometime around May 2027).
Why This Set Matters Beyond Ryan Gosling
While the Ryan Gosling minifigure angle is getting the headlines, this set represents something bigger.
Broader significance:
- Continued LEGO/film partnerships: LEGO remains committed to major theatrical releases
- Adult collector focus: Another Icons set targeting the 18+ demographic
- Sci-fi expansion: LEGO continues diversifying beyond Star Wars for space-themed sets
- Andy Weir’s influence: The success of The Martian (which also inspired LEGO IDEAS submissions) continues with official recognition
For fans of both LEGO and hard science fiction, this is an exciting crossover.
When Can You Buy It?
Based on the leaked information, expect the LEGO Project Hail Mary set to release around March 2026, likely timed to the movie’s March 20 theatrical premiere.
Where to watch for announcements:
- Official LEGO website and social channels
- LEGO retailer partner sites
- Entertainment and toy news outlets
Pro tip: High-profile licensed sets sometimes sell out quickly at launch. If you’re interested, consider pre-ordering when available or purchasing early in the release window.
The Bottom Line
A leaked LEGO Icons set based on Project Hail Mary is reportedly coming in March 2026 with 826 pieces, two minifigures (including Ryan Gosling’s LEGO debut), and a $90–$100 price tag.
While not officially confirmed, the source has a strong track record, and the details align perfectly with typical LEGO Icons specifications and pricing.
For Ryan Gosling fans, LEGO collectors, or anyone excited about Project Hail Mary, this set could be a must-have display piece—and likely the first of multiple Gosling minifigures to come.
