Ryan Reynolds is also doing a film titled Red Notice with Dwayne Johnson. However, the shooting of the film has been put on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Ryan Reynolds had previously revealed that he believes that not much footage can be used as he spent most of the time on the set trying to get Dwayne Johnson to 'crack up'. Dwayne Johnson previously added that he had the best time on the sets of Red Notice with Ryan Reynolds. He also disclosed that they are halfway through the movie, and concluded by saying that the cast and crew will come back together once the pandemic is over.
