The third franchise of the popular R-rated superhero film, Deadpool, is just around the corner. And Ryan Reynolds has already started to come up with exciting new projects. The star recently lined up a big project with Skydance Media’s Mayday. While fans were eagerly anticipating an update about the star-studded project, the 46-year-old hit them up with another surprise. And this time the Free Guy actor will be collaborating with none other than the most likable character from The Office. 

John Krasinski, popular for his character Jim Halpert from The Office, will be directing the upcoming project of Reynolds. And recently he shared an exciting update about its filming with his fans through social media.

Ryan Reynolds and John Krasinski’s collaboration started its journey

Krasinski has time and again proved his versatility in the entertainment industry. He is not only a talented actor but also has successfully made a mark in the directorial world. After the success of the 43-year-old director’s A Quiet Place, fans have been waiting for his next directorial venture. And it seems like the wait is over. A few months back, CinemaCon revealed the first look of the Paramount Pictures movie, Imaginary Friends. And now, the director himself has confirmed the filming of the upcoming American fantasy comedy, as per Collider.

Recently, the Screen Actors Guild Award posted a picture of a clapperboard with a caption that said, “Beautiful day to kickoff a movie! #IF”. While the director didn’t reveal much about the upcoming movie, he shared a crucial detail with the fans. The clapperboard revealed the name of the Director of Photography, Janusz Kamiński. Kaminski is an Academy Award-winning cinematographer who has been working with Steven Spielberg since 1993. Through IF, Krasinski will be transitioning from the horror genre to fantasy comedy as a filmmaker.

Even though this upcoming 2024 release will be the filmmaker and Reynolds’ first collaboration, their bond goes way back to 2018.

When Ryan Reynolds and John Krasinski took a jab at Hugh Jackman

The banter between Hugh Jackman and The Adam Project actor is not new to the world. The two actors, who will be co-starring in Deadpool 3, have always taken their sweet time to troll each other. However, not many people know that even Krasinski joined the banter of Deadpool and Wolverine back in 2018. Emily Blunt and the Something Borrowed actor are one of the loveliest couples in Hollywood. Hugh Jackman posted a picture with the Oppenheimer actress at Variety’s event, using #actorsonactors. 

Krasinski took this opportunity to troll Jackman, saying “Eeeeeeasy Hugh… not sure this is what @Variety meant with #ActorsonActors”. He also went on to say, “Don’t make me think I can hurt you”. This led the Just Friends actor to jump in between and team up with Krasinski. He shared the same tweet with a caption saying, “This is a call to action. This man must be stopped”. Fans couldn’t stop laughing at the hilarious thread and flooded Twitter with amusing reactions.
