Glover recently told People that Gosling almost joined Atlanta season 3's cast. One reason why Gosling considered joining the series is because he is a fan, which made Glover excited at the prospect of working together.

Unfortunately, Gosling participating in season 3 of Atlanta did not come to fruition due to scheduling conflicts.

Gosling's most recent film, The Gray Man, is set to release in July 2022 and may be part of the reason why his schedule could not accommodate also filming Atlanta season 3. The series filmed most of season 3 in London as opposed to Atlanta due to season 2 ending with Earn about to depart for a European tour with Alfred and Darius (LaKeith Stanfield). Glover did not reveal the name of the character which he envisioned Gosling for, but viewers will have to speculate who it may be as they watch the rest of Atlanta season 3.
