So, if you ever wondered how meeting Ryan Reynold’s younger version would be, Scobell will show you the same in the Shawn Levy directorial. Over the years, time-travel movies gave us a perception on how time-traveling works. Any interference in the present will disturb the future. But not every movie has the same rules like Netflix’s new film The Adam Project.

The Adam Project takes us on an imperfect journey with reference to those rules. The film follows Adam, a time-traveler pilot, who travels to meet his 12-year-old self in order to save the future.

The film has captured a lot of attention with its great screenplay and amazing performances. The cast of the film is mostly star-studded, including Ryan Reynolds, Mark Ruffalo, Zoe Saldana, and Jennifer Garner.
