Adam Reed, age 12, and still grieving the sudden death of his father a year earlier, walks into his garage one night to find a wounded pilot hiding there. This mysterious pilot (Ryan Reynolds) turns out to be the older version of himself from the future, where time travel is in its infancy. He has risked everything to come back in time on a secret mission.

Together they must embark on an adventure into the past to find their father, set things right, and save the world. Working together, both young and grown Adam come to terms with the loss of their father and have a chance to heal the wounds that have shaped them. Adding to the challenge of the mission, the two Adams discover they really don’t like each other very much, and if they’re going to save the world, they’re first going to have to figure out how to get along.

Filming in Vancouver:

Shawn Levy directed Ryan Reynolds in Free Guy with Joe Keery, Jodie Comer, Taika Waititi and Utkarsh Ambudkar.

Ryan Reynolds hasn’t given up hope on Disney/Marvel making Deadpool 3, but joked there may be a “leaks” issue.

Deadpool and Deadpool 2 showcased Vancouver’s beauty from above, downtown, Granville Bridge, Georgia Viaduct and the seedier alleys and strip clubs, as well as Riverview in Coquitlam.

Ryan Reynolds keeps in touch with his hometown in other ways: recently helping a young woman reunite with a bear containing her dead mother’s voice.

And responding to a distress call to Reynolds and Seth Rogen from BC Premier John Horgan about partying BC youth.

Meanwhile Reynolds is busy putting money in the bank.

And getting Covid-19 tests for his myriad other projects.
