Ryan Reynolds had the perfect answer to an awkward question during a recent Q&A.

Under the new hours-watched weekly metric charts implemented by Netflix back in November, the Shawn Levy-Ryan Reynolds re-team, The Adam Project, exploded with 92.4 million hours watched by the streamer’s subscribers for the week ending March 13.

“The Adam Project” concerns a man traveling back in time and interacting with his younger self. But when casting Ryan Reynolds as the lead of the film, the prospect of finding a pre-teen performer capable of, frankly, keeping up with Reynolds and nailing his specific mannerisms and inflection seemed nearly impossible.What Reynolds and director Shawn Levy didn’t know, however, was that in casting newcomer Walker Scobell to play the younger version of Reynolds’ character Adam Reed, they had hired one of the world’s biggest “Deadpool” fans.“In the same way that you can’t direct someone to be funny, you also can’t direct someone to be more Ryan Reynolds-ish,” Levy candidly told TheWrap in a recent interview.

Time travel can be tricky and “The Adam Project” shows us just how complicated it can really get. Directed by “Free Guy” filmmaker and “Stranger Things” producer Shawn Levy, the new sci-fi movie also involves some complicated concepts, like time travel and meeting your younger (or older) self. The script, written by Jonathan Tropper, T.S. Nowlin, Jennifer Flackett and Mark Levin, also makes room for emotional themes and a heart-wrenching family dynamic.

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.

“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.

“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.

is already clamoring), but while that film offered its own unique challenges, “The Adam Project” posited a potentially insurmountable quest: find a kid who feels like he could be a younger version of Ryan Reynolds.Reynolds has a very specific kind of charm, a singular way of talking, and finding a pre-teen capable of mimicking the “Deadpool” actor seemed impossible. But unbeknownst to Levy and Reynolds, the young man cast as the young Adam, Walker Scobell, happened to be one of the world’s biggest “Deadpool” fans.“In the same way that you can’t direct someone to be funny, you also can’t direct someone to be more Ryan Reynolds-ish,” Levy explained.
