Ryan Reynolds plays two fields at once. On one hand, he is busy running around Wrexham AFC to make it the next big thing in football, which, as a matter of fact, he is very close to. On the other, he is challenging the norms at the showbiz front to constantly churn out projects that satiate both the mind and soul. This year, Reynolds seems to have more than one project aimed to do the same in his kitty. 

Given its mighty cast and Marvel tag, one would think that Deadpool & Wolverine would be the biggest Reynolds starrer in the next two years. However, Animal Friends seems to have also made a run for that title.

Not very long ago, the hype of Ryan Reynolds' superhero movie was rivaled by one of his own projects. With a cast boasting of Jason Momoa, Vince Vaughn and Aubrey Plaza, the movie, without any further plot information, had everybody already wrapped around its finger. However, now fans have more reason to be excited as the release date of Animal Friends has been revealed by Deadline to be August 15, 2025, along with more plot details.

After making rounds as the hero of Marvel's first R-rated movie, you would think that Reynolds would stray away from the tag for a while. However, the actor has not only embraced but seems to be determined to enhance the same as well. Apropos to the same, Animal Friends is said to be an R-rated animated movie.

Despite the cast not even having been to the set once, the 2025 movie is already making waves, and given the intricately designed plot details that have been released, there is no reason for it to not do so.

That Ryan Reynolds has boundless talent is a fact that now many are well versed with. Not only can the actor give performances worth a standing ovation but can also direct and produce projects that reignite faith in cinema's future. This, combined with his knack for choosing projects bound to bring big numbers, has fans waiting for his next move. However, Animal Friends has more to its credit than just any other Reynolds movie and this has to do with the fact that it is animated.

While live-action Ryan Reynolds movies as clear by the hype surrounding the Deadpool franchise are in their own league, the actor and animated movies are a killer duo. His 2019 movie Pokémon Detective Pikachu had been a thing for the books, as it became the highest grossing video game adaptation at that time. Animal Friends, with its mix of animated and live characters, is anticipated to replicate either equal or greater success.
