Kraft Mac & Cheese and Ryan Reynolds teamed up to create a new video ahead of the release of Netflix's The Adam Project film. The video commercial features some of the movie's cast members, including Reynolds and actor Walker Scobell who stars as young Adam, promoting Kraft's classic dish.
The video also features a delicious and comforting bowl of Kraft Mac & Cheese to promote the feel-good, action-driven film set to launch on March 11th. Walker Scobell channels some of Ryan Reynolds' trademark sarcasm with humourous one-liners in the Kraft commercial, including describing the brand's dish as "if cheese and rainbows had a baby." The commercial is available for view on YouTube and Ryan Reynolds' Instagram.
