Ryan and Shawn previously worked together on 2021′s Free Guy and the new Netflix movie The Adam Project, which just debuted on the streaming service today.
The first Deadpool movie was directed by Tim Miller and the sequel was directed by David Leitch, whose next movie is Bullet Train with Brad Pitt.
A release date for Deadpool 3 has not yet been announced, but one thing we do know is that this is the first installment in the franchise that will be released by Disney. The first two movies were 20th Century Fox movies, but the studio has since been acquired by Disney.
Shawn already has an idea for another movie with Ryan.
With The Adam Project claiming another weekly viewership crown, Ryan Reynolds has now starred in three of Netflix’s most-watched films of all time.
“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.
These days, it’s become de rigueur for iconic, heavyweight filmmakers to either weigh in on the Marvel Cinematic Universe and its cultural hegemony or to be asked about it. One of those recent dissenting voices has been Francis Ford Coppola (“The Godfather” trilogy), and while he’s criticized the genre in the past, he seems to like at least one modern superhero film.
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 figure includes all hours watched for the movie, both those who’ve watched the movie once and multiple times.
“The Adam Project” has a famous fan in John Krasinski.
“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.
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.
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.
Shawn Levy is making his mark in Hollywood.
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.
Owen Gleiberman Chief Film CriticSomewhere along the line, Ryan Reynolds became the most playful actor we have. That might sound like faint praise; some would call him silly or lightweight or even, in his aggro irreverance, a touch smarmy. But genuine fast-break insolence is a quality that’s missing from the lumbering cheek of most of our paint-by-numbers blockbusters.
Lorraine Kelly was forced to censor Ryan Reynolds after the actor let slip a swear word in the middle of her ITV show.
