The Adam Project release date: Latest news on Ryan Reynolds Netflix film
Ryan Reynolds plays a man who travels back in time to find his father, played by Mark Ruffalo.
Ryan Reynolds is back! And this time, it’s double trouble in Netflix’s sci-fi adventure The Adam Project.
The actor portrays time-travelling protagonist Adam Reed, who teams up with his younger self (Walker Scobell) and his late father, in the time-twisty sci-fi, which follows the trio as they embark on a mission to save the future by coming to terms with the past.
The movie boasts a star-studded cast. Alongside Reynolds, Zoe Saldana plays Adam's partner Laura, while Jennifer Garner plays his mother Ellie.
Talking about the movie's nostalgic charm, Reynolds recently told The Hollywood Reporter: “Movies like ET, Back to the Future, Stand by Me and Goonies all appealed to kids as if they were adults."
He continued: “[The Adam Project] has a storytelling device that doesn’t feel slow, so it’s the same pace that we watch movies these days, but it also has this high-concept, wish-fulfilment engine behind it."

He added: "And, at the end of the day, it’s a very personal story, a story about something that I think every single person can relate to.”

The Adam Project cast
Ryan Reynolds plays a man called Adam, who must travel back in time to team up with his 13-year-old self in order to find his late father (still alive in the past) named Louis Reed, played by Mark Ruffalo.
Meanwhile Catherine Keener (who played the villainous mother in Get Out) will play the antagonist named Maya Sorian who's stolen mysterious and powerful technology from Ruffalo's physicist.
Zoe Saldana plays Adam's partner Laura, and Jennifer Garner plays his mother, Ellie Reed. Newcomer Walker Scobell plays young Adam.
What is The Adam Project about?
Netflix's synopsis reads: "Adam Reed, age 13, and still grieving the sudden death of his father a year earlier, walks into his garage one night to find a wounded pilot hiding there. This mysterious pilot turns out to be the older version of himself from the future, where time travel is in its infancy.
"He has risked everything to come back in time on a secret mission. Together they must embark on an adventure into the past to find their father, set things right, and save the world."
A further twist is that the two Adams (both young and grown-up) find that they don't exactly warm to one another, meaning that while fighting to save the world, they'll need to put their differences aside, and additionally come to terms with their grief.
