As of late, Ryan Reynolds films—and ads, for that matter—are generally action-packed and full of goofy energy. But with his next film, the actor is pivoting to something with a bit more emotional fare. Ryan Reynolds leads the very star-studded sci-fi film The Adam Project, which debuts on Netflix in March.
In it, Reynolds plays a time-traveling pilot named Adam, who, per the logline “teams up with his younger self and his late father to come to terms with his past while saving the future. Walker Scobell plays the younger Adam, while Jennifer Garner and Mark Ruffalo play Adam’s parents. (Reuniting on-screen 18 years after 13 Going on 30!) Catherine Keener and Zoe Saldaña also star. Keener allegedly plays the film’s villain, who steals powerful technology from Ruffalo’s physicist character.
The logline isn’t giving too much away. However, Netflix released a whole bunch of first look images, which teases action, tension, and maybe even some tears.
On a basic level, the concept is fairly intriguing. Time travel logic in media is famously a bit murky, with each piece of media using its own set of rules—for better or, more often, for worse. (Although few have pulled it off as brilliantly as the Netflix series Dark.) But given The Adam Project sees Reynolds’ adult Adam reunite with his younger self, his deceased father, and his mom—there is a lot to consider. And not just because it sounds like quite an emotionally fraught situation. What kind of futuristic technology are we working with? What does it take to alter the future timeline—a catastrophic change or something as simple as adult Adam buying a coffee? I’m certainly looking forward to finding out.
Shawn Levy directs and produces The Adam Project, while in addition to starring, Ryan Reynolds is also a producer. The film boasts a script from Jonathan Tropper, T.S. Nowlin, Jennifer Flackett and Mark Levin.
The Adam Project debuts on Netflix on March 11, 2022.
