Two of the most beloved actors in Hollywood are going to team up in a new fantasy movie titled Imaginary Friends. The Office alum John Krasinski will write, direct, and star alongside Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds who will also co-produce the movie. That is, if the deal with Paramount goes through.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, negotiations are still ongoing but once it is confirmed, Krasinski will be working on the fantasy-comedy movie.

Imaginary Friends, as the title suggests, follows the story of a man who is able to see and talk to people's imaginary friends. He is also able to befriend those who "have been forgotten or discarded." Some imaginary friends are void of love and friendship, and some of them eventually turn to the dark side, and that's where Reynolds will come in "to save the world from those that become evil."

Krasinski made his mark on writing and directing with the success of the box-office hit A Quiet Place which made $340 million worldwide. For now, he is currently working on the post-production of the horror sequel. Reynolds, on the other hand, could be getting a second project this month (once confirmed). He is going to star with Will Ferell in a live-action musical based on a Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol.

If you ask me, I think this movie could potentially be a hit seeing that both characters played by Krasinski and Reynolds in the past were loved by many. Working together in a movie would make great promotional campaigns as well and both actors are known to do well in comedy-related projects.

Krasinski is the lead for Amazon's Jack Ryan series and its second season premieres in November. Reynolds will star in Netflix's 6 Underground which will air on December 13. Details for Imaginary Friends are yet to be announced.
