The new Netflix film starring Ryan Reynolds, Mark Ruffalo, and Jennifer Garner is currently one of the most popular titles on OTT. The film tells the story of a man who travels back in time and teams up with his younger self and deceased father to help save the future. So here are some interesting trivia about the popular film, The Adam Project. Let's get going.

1. The film was originally titled Our Name is Adam with Tom Cruise cast as the lead, all the way back in 2012. However, the project was in limbo at Paramount for years before Netflix acquired the rights in 2020 with Shawn Levy as director and Ryan Reynolds replacing Tom Cruise as the lead. 
2. In a particular scene, Mark Ruffalo’s character Louis Reed insinuates that he understood the reference seen on one of his student’s t-shirts during a lecture. The picture in the t-shirt is of actor Nicolas Cage but with actor John Travolta’s name underneath it. It is in fact a reference to Cage and Travolta’s hit film Face-Off, where they swap faces. 
3. This is Mark Ruffalo’s third film in which time travelling is involved. The first one was 13 Going on 30, alongside Jennifer Garner, and the second one was Avengers: Endgame.
4. Ryan Reynolds, Mark Ruffalo, Jennifer Garner, and Zoe Saldana have all portrayed Marvel superheroes. Reynolds as Wade Wilson/Deadpool, Ruffalo as Bruce Banner/Hulk, and Saldana as Gamora. However, Garner’s role is probably lesser-known or even forgotten - she played the role of Elektra in the 2003 film Daredevil opposite her future spouse Ben Affleck, as well in the standalone spin-off film titled Elektra. Both films were unfortunately poorly received by critics and audiences.
5. The Adam Project has paid homage to another sci-fi film franchise about time travelling, which is the Back to the Future trilogy. The dog in The Adam Project is named Hawking, similar to how Christopher Lloyd’s character, Dr Emmett Brown named his dogs Copernic and Einstein, after famous scientists. In fact, Lloyd makes an appearance in one of the promotion videos by Netflix for The Adam Project.
