The surprising career move is a move away from acting and proves the sky isn't the limit for the star.MORE: Ryan Reynolds' new movie The Adam Project has fans saying the same thingRyan is no stranger to taking steps back from acting and focusing on other projects. In 2019, he became owner of Mint Mobile when he purchased a majority stake in the company. The actor further diversified his portfolio through his ownership of Aviation Gin.

“The Adam Project” has a famous fan in John Krasinski.

The faux-feuding bromance between Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman has been on display on the actors’ social media for years, but director Shawn Levy says he’s anxious to bring the hilarity to the screen.

It is a long time coming, and it’s been four years since “Deadpool 2,” but the “Deadpool” franchise is finally starting to take shape. After being delayed and put in limbo following Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox, “Deadpool 3” finally has a director.

Following the box-office success of Free Guy and critical acclaim of The Adam Project, director Shawn Levy and Ryan Reynolds are now looking for the hat trick as Levy is now in negotiations to direct Marvel’s Deadpool 3. Reynolds is set to star Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick are penning the script. Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin penned a previous draft.

until 2019’s “Joker” topped it at $1.074 billion.In 2016’s “Deadpool,” Reynolds won over audiences with his snarky, fourth-wall-shattering jokes that referenced other superhero films. In a moviegoing culture where superheroes are king, that quality earned the character perpetual relevance.

Shawn Levy has some big ideas!

“The Adam Project,” premiering on Netflix today is a potent blend of oversized science fiction, full of whiz-bang action, and deeply felt emotional storytelling that packs a punch, and TheWrap has an exclusive look at how the film was made. Ryan Reynolds plays a pilot from the future who steals a time-traveling spaceship and travels back to the past, where he encounters a younger version of himself (played by astounding newcomer Walker Scobell).

Director Shawn Levy and actor/wise-ass extraordinaire Ryan Reynolds have become a bit of a magic pairing. First collaborating on last year’s original sci-fi hit, “Free Guy,” the two have been singing each other’s praises in interview after interview, all usually while talking up what was going to be an even better movie, their next original sci-fi collaboration entitled, “The Adam Project.” READ MORE: ‘The Adam Project’ Review: Ryan Reynolds’ Sci-Fi Adventure Is Built Around An Earnest Emotional Core The film follows a pilot from the future named Adam (Ryan Reynolds) who jumps back in time and teams up with his younger self (Walker Scobell) and his father (Mark Ruffalo) to save the world from a person who has used time travel for their own nefarious purposes.

Ryan Reynolds vehicle on Netflix about a time traveler who meets his kid self. The film is drowning in sap.You yawn through the uninspired action sequences — just 30 years from now we apparently will wield cheap-looking lightsaber rip-offs — and then are nauseated by over-dramatic exchanges such as this:Running time: 106 minutes.

“The Adam Project” is the latest Netflix film to come from the Ryan Reynolds Industrial Complex (after 2021’s gimmicky “Red Notice”), and it feels fair to applaud it for what it resists. It doesn’t cram movie pop culture references down the audience’s throat; it keeps the Reynolds character’s meta-like winks to a minimum; it lets Reynolds’ fast-talking, incorrigibly charismatic smart-ass ways seem based in a complicated humanity instead of a contractual obligation from the lead star’s power.
