Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds says that while he would join the Star Wars franchise if the opportunity arose, he hasn’t given any thought, likely implying that no one has approached him about it right now. In support of his latest movie The Adam Project, it is likely Reynolds is going to draw comparisons to a few family-friendly sci-fi classics. Flight of the Navigator and E.T. were from the first pilot, and the film itself has a running joke in it about Star Wars.
Needless to say, there are a lot of opportunities to join in on the Star Wars franchise, given that there’s basically not a week all year that doesn’t have a new episode of a Star Wars TV show on Disney+. Although theatrical release may be on pause for now, the world is still as busy and exciting as ever.
"That would be a real hard thing to say no to, but honestly – I'm not making this up – it's not something I've ever thought of," Reynolds said in his interview with Variety.
Aside from Reynolds, The Adam Project stars Mark Ruffalo, Jennifer Garner, Zoe Saldana, Catherine Keener, and Walker Scobell.
The Adam Project movie follows the story of a man (Reynolds) who goes back in time to get help from his past self (played by Scobell) as they team up to find their late father (Ruffalo) in order to set things right to save the future. In the movie, Ruffalo’s character is a great physicist who is now the same age as his son. Catherine Keener is set to play the villain in the film, a woman who has stolen a very powerful technology from him, along with Mallari Jr. playing her right hand.
As for Marvel, both Ruffalo and Reynolds are expected to be a part of future MCU projects. It was previously announced that Disney is going ahead with a Deadpool 3 with a new team of writers, Wendy Molyneaux and Lizzie Molyneaux-Loeglin. It was also recently confirmed that Ruffalo would be returning to play Hulk/Bruse Banner in Disney+’s She-Hulk series.
The Adam Project will be released on Netflix on March 11.
