Ryan Reynolds is one of the most versatile actors around.
His gifts for fast talk and flawless deadpan delivery make him a standout in comedies,
and his rugged good looks and confidence have also shone through in romantic films.
On top of that, he has some seriously impressive dramatic chops and really brings the heat
to action hero fare.
For his next outing, Reynolds stars alongside Mark Ruffalo and exciting young newcomer Walker
Scobell in "The Adam Project," a sensational sci-fi film from the mind of "Stranger Things"
director and producer Shawn Levy.
So prepare for a wild, emotional ride when the film arrives on Friday, March 11.
But until then, there are a few other great Ryan Reynolds films you can stream on Netflix
right now.
Reynolds stars in the international heist thriller "Red Notice" alongside fellow Hollywood
superstars Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Gal Gadot.
When slick con artist Nolan Booth finds himself on the radar of Special Agent John Hartley,
it looks like his extravagant life of crime is finally at an end.
But when they both get set up by an even savvier thief, they find themselves forced to work
together to clear their names.
Needless to say, a Ryan Reynolds and Dwayne Johnson team-up is the partnership we never
knew we needed.
"Oh, that's fun.
This is my best friend."
"We're not friends."
"We're best friends."
With thrilling action, hilarious banter, and a surprising amount of heart, "Red Notice"
is an exhilarating ride from start to finish, with plenty of twists and turns that you won't
see coming.
Ryan Reynolds gets the chance to play two compelling characters in the 2015 Tarsem Singh
thriller "Self/less."
The film features Ben Kingsley as a billionaire named Damian Hale, who, after being diagnosed
with terminal cancer, undergoes an experimental procedure called "shedding" to transplant
his consciousness into a younger body that he is told was artificially created just for
him.
When Damian wakes up from the harrowing ordeal, he's delighted to find himself in a new identity,
with the fresh and fit body of Ryan Reynolds.
After forgetting to take his prescribed post-operative medication, Damian begins to experience hallucinations
of a family he doesn't know, and he realizes they may not just be figments of his imagination.
Those visions really belong to a man named Mark, who sold his body to provide for his
child.
Mark's memories can only be suppressed by Damian's meds, so as Mark's thoughts begin
to reemerge, Damian has to make a decision about whether to return his new body to its
rightful owner or rid it of Mark's mind for good.
He also must set out on a perilous mission to uncover the truth of the shedding procedure
before it's too late for others.
Reynolds' performance in the film, as both Damian and Mark, is completely captivating
and packed full of surprises as the action unfolds.
"Who are you?"
"My name's Damian.
I'm so sorry."
Vigilantism goes to the extreme in "6 Underground."
Released in 2019, Michael Bay's action-comedy features Reynolds as One, a billionaire who
fakes his own death to disappear from the world stage.
Why?
So he can start his own elite hit squad of other "ghosts," people who leave their old
lives behind to join this secret army.
With no government allegiance or systems to control their decisions, these nameless fighters
are free to choose their targets.
There won't be any medals or ceremonies waiting for them after their jobs are done, but One
hopes his ragtag team of talented specialists can quietly right some of the world's biggest
injustices, starting with taking down a brutal dictatorial regime whose horrors One has personally
witnessed.
Reynolds' turn as the determined but inexperienced mercenary is a real thrill ride, filled with
intense action mixed with the kind of levity only he could pull off.
"I'm a grown man.
I can handle my shit."
"I don't think that's how the expression goes.
Don't handle your shit.
Flush it down the toilet like a grown-ass man."
Reynolds has played several superheroes over the years.
In addition to his recent roles, he also took on the title role in the 2011 superhero action
film "Green Lantern."
"Wah, green!"
"Green Lantern" features Reynolds as Hal Jordan, an arrogant test pilot who's chosen by a power
ring to join the Green Lantern Corps as a guardian of his sector.
As he assumes this new mantle of power, he faces a deadly new foe in the fear-harnessing
villain Parallax, who threatens to destroy Earth.
Hal must not only become the Green Lantern, but he'll have to convince the others of his
ilk that his home planet is one worth fighting for.
