The Adam Project Cast & Character Guide
Netflix's The Adam Project showcases an all-star cast of characters for Ryan Reynolds' latest time-travel adventure. Set for a March 11th, 2022 release, The Adam Project follows time-traveling fighter pilot Adam Reed who, after accidentally crash-landing in a contemporary 2022, teams up with his 12-year-old self on a mission to save the future. The majority of the initial reviews for The Adam Project have been positive, with critics reserving particular praise for the genuine chemistry between Adam and his younger counterpart.

The Adam Project has certainly had a long and arduous production journey, with the film originally titled Our Name Is Adam as far back as 2012. Per Variety, Tom Cruise was attached to star at the time before Paramount Pictures failed to acquire the rights to the original script. Netflix then revived The Adam Project IP in 2020 under its final name, quickly attaching Shawn Levy as director and Ryan Reynolds in the lead role after the pair's highly successful Free Guy collaboration.

As a result, The Adam Project is a high-quality sci-fi affair that boasts an impressive cast of larger-than-life characters. While Ryan Reynolds naturally steals the show as Adam Reed, there are a number of standout performances running right through the center of The Adam Project's sweeping 2022 narrative. Here's a cast and character guide for The Adam Project, as well as where you know each actor from.
