“The Adam Project” — a sci-fi time-traveling adventure film starring Ryan Reynolds, Jennifer Garner, Zoe Saldaña and Mark Ruffalo — cracked Netflix’s Top 10 most popular original movies of all time. With more than 209 million hours viewed, the family-friendly action flick debuted at No.

Ryan Reynolds can’t seem to explain his way out of this! During a recent Q&A for his latest Netflix film,, the actor was almost left speechless when a young fan asked him about his on-screen kiss with Zoe Saldana.  “In the scene where you were kissing the girl, was that real?” a young fan confidently asked.

“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.

Warning: Spoilers for “The Adam Project” follow below.Most time-travel movies don’t end in tears, but “The Adam Project” may necessitate an entire box of Kleenex for some viewers. The Netflix original film finds a fighter pilot from the year 2050, Adam Reed (Ryan Reynolds), crash-landing in the year 2022 after traveling through time.

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.

“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).

Jennifer Garner stars in the new Netflix movie The Adam Project and she reunites with a former co-star in the film.

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.

“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.
