AsThe Adam Projectcontinues to roar on the streaming platform Netflix, the film has recently got Ryan Reynolds, its lead star, another achievement. According toThe Hollywood Reporter,The Adam Project, Ryan Reynolds has become the first actor to have three films on Netflix’s All-Time Top 10 List.The Adam ProjectmarksRyan’s third film to achieve this feat, with two more of his films standing tall on the list of top ten movies that people are streaming on Netflix, making himone of the most entertaining actorsof the time.
Within only three weeks of its release on Netflix,The Adam Projecthas reached the Number 7 spot on the platform. On the other hand, his crime-comedy filmRed Notice(co-starring Dwayne Johnson and Gal Gadot) remains at Number 1 spot, ruling the platform for now about four months after its release. The third Reynolds film to remain on the list is his action-thriller6 Underground, which has maintained its position in the top listing even after more than two years of release. Given that these other two Ryan Reynolds films have stayed among the top for a long while now, there are chances thatThe Adam Projectcould rise to the top five entries in the coming weeks.
With three films on the top ten list at Netflix, Reynolds broke Sandra Bullock’s record, who had two films on the list,Bird BoxandThe Unforgivable.
The Adam Project is a Win-Win for Ryan Reynolds and Shawn Levy
The feat also brings happy news to producer-director Shawn Levy. As a producer, Shawn Levy has become the first and only person to have a project on Netflix’s All-Time Top 10 list for both films and television. WhileThe Adam Projecthas just joined the league of Netflix’s elites, his showStranger Thingshas maintained a cult status and a massive fan following ever since the first season. The show is likely to amass further recognition as itsfinal two seasonswill be available to stream soon on the platform.
Shawn Levy and Ryan Reynolds have become quite a successful director-actor duo. They both have given a similar hit with Disney’sFree Guy, which, after a breakout box-office success during the pandemic, also became one of themost-watched films on Disney+, amassing surplus viewership for the Netflix competitor.
Interestingly, the duo is set to reunite right away, this time on the most anticipated Marvel Studios project. Not too long afterThe Adam Projectwas released on Netflix, Ryan Reynolds took to Instagram to drop hints about his next project with Levy,which was later confirmed to beDeadpool III. The project would be a threequel to the previous twoDeadpoolfilms set in the now-defunctX-Men Franchise.Deadpool IIIwas the firstX-Menproject that Marvel Studios picked up, with Reynolds attached to star from the earliest stages of production. WithDeadpool III, the foul-mouthed merc will officially join theMarvel Cinematic Universe, becomingMCU’s first R-Rated film, thus somehow merging the two continuities together, probably through the concept of the multiverse. A sequel toFree Guyis also in the works at Disney, which may once again bring back Reynolds and Levy, making them the favorite director-actor duo of Hollywood.
