Addison Rae is set to star alongside Ryan Reynolds in Legendary’s upcoming live-action and animated hybrid feature, Animal Friends. The film, currently in development, continues to draw attention as one of the studio’s most anticipated projects, blending big-name Hollywood stars with fresh talent.

The project has been described as a unique mix of comedy and adventure, combining live performances with animated characters in a way that recalls classics like Who Framed Roger Rabbit and more recent favourites such as Sonic the Hedgehog. Details of the plot remain tightly under wraps, but the film is expected to deliver a family-friendly story packed with humour, heart, and plenty of action.

For Rae, best known for her breakout on social media and her role in Netflix’s He’s All That, this marks another step in her expanding acting career. Teaming up with Reynolds—who has become a household name through hits like Deadpool, Free Guy, and Detective Pikachu—positions her alongside one of the industry’s most bankable stars.

The film is being developed under Legendary Entertainment, with Ryan Reynolds’ production company Maximum Effort also involved. The combination of talent both in front of and behind the camera is fuelling excitement about what could become a major release for the studio.

With Reynolds’ track record for delivering sharp, self-aware comedy and Rae’s rising star power, Animal Friends is already generating buzz even before its release date has been announced. The film promises to offer audiences a fresh take on the hybrid genre, appealing to both long-time fans of animation and new viewers looking for an entertaining escape.
