Netflix’s latest big action flick, The Adam Project, marks a reunion for Jennifer Garner with Mark Ruffalo, who starred in 13 Going on 30 over 18 years ago!
In 13 Going on 30, set in 1987, Jenna Rink (Christa B. Allen) wishes on her 13th birthday to grow up quickly, and become the successful 30-year-old she dreams of being. She wakes up the next morning in 2004, 30 years old and a successful magazine editor (now played by Garner). Her life, though glamorous, isn’t what she expected, and she rethinks her priorities. She looks up her childhood best friend Matt (played by Ruffalo) and discovers (Spoiler Alert!) that he was her soulmate all along.
In The Adam Project, Garner and Ruffalo play parents to Adam Reed (played as a kid by Walker Scobell and as an adult by Ryan Reynolds). Adam is a fighter pilot in a future where time travel is possible, who discovers a troubling conspiracy. After traveling back in time to 2022, Adam teams up with his younger self on a mission to save the future.
