After teaming up for 2021’s Free Guy, 2022’s The Adam Project, and the upcoming Deadpool 3, director Shawn Levy and blockbuster star Ryan Reynolds just can’t get enough of each other, as they continue their creative partnership on a new project.
According to Deadline, Levy has officially signed on to direct and produce the upcoming heist comedy movie starring Reynolds. This comes after the untitled project was most recently acquired by Netflix, who worked with both Levy and Reynolds on multiple projects, particularly with Levy on one of its most popular shows to date, Stranger Things.

It will be produced by Reynolds, Fox, Kinberg, and Audrey Chon. It hails from Maximum Effort and Genre Films.
