What do you think when you hear the name Ryan Reynolds? Deadpool, sense of humor, Wrexham AFC, and so forth, right? While that is true, the Canadian actor is also famous for his iconic role in Deadpool, he has been great at portraying comic roles throughout his career. Once again, Reynolds is coming back to portray a comic role with his long-term friend, Jason Bateman. However, there is one slight change.

The duo worked together in a 2011 movie, The Change-Up. Best friends Dave (Bateman), a married lawyer, and Mitch (Reynolds), a playboy, envy each other’s lives. Merriment ensues when their bodies get swapped, and they realize their lives are not as great as they had imagined. Swiping the bodies with each other did not work well for them. However, the amazing duo is starring together in an upcoming film titled The New Hire. Although there is a slight change in this upcoming movie as per Giant Freakin Robot.

So, the Ozark star, Jason Bateman, is not going to act alongside the Deadpool actor. Instead, the 54-year-old actor is going to take the director’s chair. Yes, this is going to be the first time long-term friends would work like this. After directing several projects, including episodes on his Netflix drama Ozark, Bateman seems to be focusing on his directional skills.

What is The New Hire starring Ryan Reynolds about?

The 46-year-old actor is going to star as a tech worker. The film will see the Vancouver-born actor getting a job in a seemingly perfect company. Only after joining, he finds out the twisted truth. He finds out his eccentric co-workers have been hiding dark secrets about the workplace. Despite the description as a comedy, it seems to have a thrilling even horror plot line.

It would be certainly interesting to see how the Canadian actor would balance his role. We are expecting the film would provide the Wrexham AFC owner the chance to make snotty remarks in a low voice. The actor is the king of comedy. While everyone is waiting to witness yet another comedy by Reynolds, fans are also excited about the duo’s return after all these years.
