As anticipation builds for Ryan Reynolds’ upcoming film endeavors, the actor has added a delightful twist to the promotional circuit. Best known for his irreverent portrayal of Deadpool, Reynolds is gearing up for a new project with director John Krasinski, of A Quiet Place fame. However, it’s a playful exchange with WandaVision actor Randall Park that’s stealing the spotlight.
In a clever nod to the iconic comedy series The Office, Park takes on the role of Krasinski in a promotional stunt for the family-friendly film If. Echoing the memorable “Asian Jim” prank from The Office’s ninth season, Park’s character pretends to be Krasinski to prank Ryan Reynolds. Sharing the amusing exchange on social media platform X, Reynolds adds his own comedic flair by quipping, “You’re not John Krasinski,” in a playful homage to the original gag.
