Coming off the momentum of last year’s No cost to the GuyRyan Reynolds and Shawn Levy, director of Shawn Levy have teamed up again The Adam ProjectNetflix will release a Sci-Fi action drama called “The Coming-of-Age Drama” next month.

Reynolds plays Adam Reed alongside Walker Scobell. He is a thirteen-year-old boy who receives a visit from a future-travelling fighter pilot. His mission? To save the world from the danger of uninhibited, time travel. As counter-intuitive as that mission might sound on its face, future Adam’s goal seems to directly involve a confrontation with his late father (Mark Ruffalo), who passed away shortly before Adam’s visit to his past self.

Why Adam needs to team up with his 13-year-old self is yet unclear, but what is clear from the first teaser trailer released by Netflix is that he is not alone; battling time-hopping combatants with a retractable, lightsaber-esque bo staff alongside a laser-shooting ally played by Zoe Saldaña.

Reynolds’ last Netflix project, the globe-trotting action heist comedy Red NoticeGal Gadot and Dwayne Johnson starred in the movie. The original premiered on last year’s service as the best, making it the top-rated original. The streamer then approved two sequels to the film.
