Last year, Ryan Reynolds and John Krasinski took over the world with their then-titled project, IF. While filming had already begun, it ended up being halted because of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strike. Thankfully, with the strike reaching an agreement around the end of the year, the actors jumped right back into it. However, they still chose not to give away too much about the plot.

A month ago, the trailer for John Krasinski’s Imaginary Friends made its way online. While the world had already gotten behind-the-scenes looks at Ryan Reynolds on set before, it was revealed that he would be helping kids reconnect with their imaginary friends. With the storyline revolving around a child who can see everyone’s imaginary friends, there is no doubt that the star will bring his hilariousness into it, just like he did with Detective Pikachu.

In 2019, the 47-year-old stunned the world when he teamed up with Pokemon to bring the character to life.

Thankfully, fans will not have to wait too long until the film is released. It is set to make its way to theaters on 17th May 2024.
