When looking at Ryan Reynolds' 2024, one particular project stands out: Deadpool & Wolverine. While the third installment in his Merc with a Mouth franchise was a tremendous success, he had a project that didn't reach the same heights — If.

The children's movie If, which stands for Imaginary Friends, was actor and director John Krasinski's first brush with the genre after his two successful horror films from the A Quiet Place franchise. The movie had Reynolds as the leading actor alongside Cailey Fleming and a series of other A-list actors. While the movie didn't live up to its potential, If is finally getting the success it deserves on Netflix, Tudum reports.

The movie debuted on Netflix recently in different countries and entered the Top 10 charts globally in sixth place behind titles like The Electric State, Plankton: The Movie, Kraven the Hunter, Trap, and Despicable Me 4. In its first week, If amassed...

In 2024, beloved The Walking Dead characters Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and Michonne (Danai Gurira) returned to action in The Ones Who Live. The six-part limited series was a huge success. A love story at its core, the series satisfied fans by offering up shocks (like Rick losing his hand), an emotionally-driven story arc, and an ending that put fans at ease after years of anticipation.

In the finale of The Ones Who Live, both Rick and Michonne returned home together after disappearing for several years, reuniting with Judith, R.J., and the rest of their family. The conclusion was entirely satisfying. Unlike both Rick and Michonne's previous exits from the series, The Ones Who Live left no cliffhangers. It was just about as happy an ending as anyone could expect from The Walking Dead.

Andrew Lincoln as Rick Grimes, Danai Gurira as Michonne, Cailey Fleming as Judith, Anthony Azor as...

The Walking Dead original series ran between 2010 and 2022, and many characters became so beloved that they earned their own spinoff series. With more shows to come, a recent spinoff is a major hit on Netflix.

After the conclusion of the original The Walking Dead series, fans got a chance to see one of the most anticipated reunions: Rick and Michonne. In 2024, the two beloved characters got their own spin-off showing the aftermath of Rick's alleged death in The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live. After its recent release on Netflix, the series is already a hit on the streaming service, as FlixPatrol reports The Ones Who Live is in the second spot in the top 10.

2024 was full of celebrated movies, with one reason for their success being the hired onscreen talent. To carry a sci-fi epic, an animated feature, or an enthralling drama, the ideal cast is required to move the story forward. Even better, the cast needs capable big-name stars, as well as some intriguing newcomers, to persuade people to check out the movies in the theater.

As seen by these entries, audiences turned up to their local movie theaters to see recognizable and excitingly new movie stars. These original films and long-awaited sequels received praise for having tons of creativity, but an even bigger highlight was that they had some of the most insanely stacked casts of the year. From legacy sequels such as Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and Gladiator II to animated hits like Transformers One and The Wild Robot, these 2024 movies had unbelievable ensemble casts.

2024 is nearly over, and while this year saw the release of many brilliant movies, in this article, we are only discussing the best fantasy movies that came out. Fantasy is one of those genres that invokes something magical in all of us, from the heroic journey in The Lord of the Rings films to the coming-of-age fantastical story in Harry Potter, and maybe that’s why this genre has one of the most loyal fan bases. So, let’s find out which fantasy movies released in 2024 were the absolute best.

If Credit – Paramount Pictures

If is a fantasy comedy film written and directed by John Krasinski. The 2024 film follows Bea, a young girl who discovers she can see imaginary friends of other people. She soon sets out on a magical adventure to find human kids to pair them with forgotten imaginary friends.

Although The Walking Dead's main series ended in November 2022, the zombie franchise fittingly refuses to die. After the main show's conclusion, at least three spin-offs have been released, including Dead City, Daryl Dixon, and The Ones Who Live. A fourth spin-off, More Tales from the Walking Dead Universe, is also being developed by showrunner Scott M. Gimple.

Given all the spin-offs and countless characters who've come and gone in the Twd universe, it's easy to lose track of young Judith Grimes and her ultimate fate. Adding to the confusion, Judith's fate in the comics differs greatly from the TV series. Fortunately, answers are provided in Twd: The Ones Who Live's finale, giving fans crucial information about Judith Grimes' whereabouts and offering closure regarding her future.

Related I’m Convinced The Walking Dead Fans Are Missing Good TV By Skipping the Spinoffs

The Walking Dead lost a lot of viewership in its last few seasons, but old fans are missing out if they skip the new spinoff series.

The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live...

The Walking Dead may have ended two years ago, but the franchise endures thanks to the comics, streaming, and the numerous spin-offs that continue to air and tell the stories of some of the most popular surviving characters. Indeed, while many characters survived right through to the end and continue to be central to The Walking Dead universe, some characters met their ends before the post-apocalyptic series concluded. Many of them died way sooner than others.

One character who was introduced late in the series is Magna (Nadia Hilker). But even some of the most dedicated The Walking Dead fans don’t recall whether she made it all the way to the end or not.

Magna was introduced towards the end of The Walking Dead, all the way in the ninth season. After a significant time jump, she...

The feel-good dramedy series wrapped up its three-season run this past weekend, but there are plenty of other shows to watch next.

Pour out one last tiny ‘tini or margarini for TV’s best feel-good series. This past Sunday, Dec. 8, HBO’s “Somebody Somewhere,” starring Bridget Everett, finished airing its third and final season. Everett starred as Sam, a woman in her 40s who returns to her hometown of Manhattan, Kansas, to navigate the death of her sister, where she finds a new and renewed community amongst her family and friends.

Few shows in recent memory have felt as warm and authentic as “Somebody Somewhere,” which also co-starred Jeff Hiller, Mary Catherine Garrison, Murray Hill, and more, never shying away from sadness or loneliness but instead embracing it with empathy toward being alive.

John Krasinski has been crowned People’s Sexiest Man Alive for 2024.

The news was announced Tuesday night on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.”

“Just immediate blackout, actually. Zero thoughts,” Krasinski told People about his reaction when he learned he would be this year’s honoree. “Other than maybe I’m being punked. That’s not how I wake up, thinking, ‘Is this the day that I’ll be asked to be Sexiest Man Alive?’ And yet it was the day you guys did it. You guys have really raised the bar for me.”

According to Krasinski, his wife Emily Blunt was “very excited” when she heard the news. “There was a lot of joy involved in me telling her,” he told People.

Krasinski is known for playing Jim Halpert on the U.S. version of the mockumentary sitcom “The Office” and the titular CIA analyst on the Prime Video series “Jack Ryan.

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon showrunner David Zabel has addressed the potential for crossovers with other zombie spinoffs in the Europe-based show's future. Daryl Dixon season 3 will be taking the series to Spain, continuing the adventures of Daryl (Norman Reedus) and Carol (Melissa McBride) as they continue their quest to get back home. Despite the show's overseas setting, it's continually acknowledged its place in the wider Walking Dead universe, with mentions of characters like Judith (Cailey Fleming) and locations such as the Commonwealth. This firmly establishes the franchise's continued acknowledgement of its shared zombie universe.

Speaking with CinemaBlend (via Yahoo), Zabel said that, despite having "free rein" over what happens in Daryl Dixon, he doubts he'd be able to use characters that are featured in the existing spinoffs. The showrunner offers the example of Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) suddenly showing up, firmly establishing that anything which would break the canon...

Warning: spoilers ahead for Daryl Dixon season 2.

Judith has bounced from one tragedy to another since the zombie outbreak began, but The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon season 2 confirms the youngster has now lost six different parent figures across the course of the show. From a certain point of view, Judith is the main character of The Walking Dead. The first child born within her father's survivor group, Judith is old enough to shoot a gun by the time the main show ends, but young enough to have no idea what the world looked like before the dead started coming back to life.

Judith's role became more prominent as the seasons progressed, especially after Cailey Fleming was cast in the role, and The Walking Dead's ending positioned her as a beacon of hope for the future. Sadly, a parental curse has been placed upon young Judith Grimes. It began as...

Ryan Reynolds made headlines for months for his work as Wade Wilson in Deadpool & Wolverine, but before starring in the box office smash hit, he also toplined a movie with several stars from The Office that just got a major streaming update. If, the live-action/animated hybrid family comedy which Reynolds stars in alongside John Krasinski and Steve Carell, will begin streaming on Prime Video tomorrow, October 8. The film has previously only been streaming on Paramount+ since July 9, and made a considerable run in the Paramount+ top 10 chart. In addition to Reynolds, Krasinski, and Carell, If also stars Cailey Fleming, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, and Bobby Moynihan, and the film currently sits at a "rotten" score of 50% from critics but an 87% rating from general audiences on the aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes.

George Clooney and Brad Pitt have often shared the screen together throughout their careers, bringing their real-life friendship into their work. The duo famously starred in Steven Soderbergh's Ocean's trilogy together, but this isn't their only collaboration. They have also worked together on a documentary, a televised play, and some other critically acclaimed movies. In 2024, Clooney and Pitt led the cast of Wolfs, a crime movie by Jon Watts that features the two stars as lone fixers tasked with the same job, forcing them to work together.

It's been 17 years since Clooney and Pitt signed off from the Ocean's franchise, but Clooney recently announced in press for Wolfs that Ocean's Fourteen is currently being developed in very early stages. While that doesn't confirm it will happen, it shows that Clooney and Pitt are still interested in collaborating more. Not to mention, a Wolfs sequel seems to be...

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 2, subtitled "The Book of Carol" follows Norman Reedus's nominal survivor as he works his way through a post-apocalyptic France. After making some new friends in the show's freshman season, Daryl now realizes that he has also made quite a few new enemies as well.

This time around, Daryl will be joined by his old friend Carol Peletier, with Melissa McBride reprising her role from the original Walking Dead series. While Carol's return was heavily marketed, Daryl Dixon could be hiding the return of several other iconic characters from the franchise.

With The Walking Dead being one of the most iconic shows of the 21st century, it's no surprise it had some great actors, but some casting decisions completely redefined the series. While many of The Walking Dead's best characters, like Rick Grimes and Michonne Hawthorne, were portrayed by incredible actors, their comic stories already confirmed they'd be a massive part of the TV adaptation. Although these casting choices were still pivotal to the show's success, The Walking Dead managed to secure several names that helped make the series stand out from its source material and become such a huge hit.

Whether it be unique takes on comic survivors, or brand-new additions entirely, these actors helped bring something completely fresh to the TV show, which surprised even the most loyal comic book readers. Although The Walking Dead wasted some potentially great characters during its run, it made up for it...

Any fan of The Walking Dead, not to mention all its many spin-offs, knows that no character is ever safe. Even main characters can (and will) be killed at any time, whether by a walking undead or a villain or rival. Some characters are particularly beloved, like Carol Peletier (Melissa McBride) and Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus). In fact, during the height of the series, fans had begun a hashtag, and even created merchandise, that read If Daryl Dies, We Riot.

With that said, while there are only a few characters who survived the first season, some of the later additions to the cast made it all the way through to the end. Not everyone met a gruesome death; some had relatively happy endings. That doesnt mean there werent death scares, however. One character who fans are curious about is Connie. While a main character in the later seasons, her journey was often overshadowed by others,...

Norman Reedus, who plays Daryl Dixon within The Walking Dead universe, promises that the second season finale of the spin-off series The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon will be the best one-hour Walking Dead ever. This has fans curious about what might happen. Theres one theory that could see a reunion between Daryl and Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln), his best friend and unofficial brother. While this is unlikely to happen in person by the end of Season 2, it's likely to occur before this spin-off ends.

If these two reunite in the series, or even if Daryl simply learns about Rick's survival and is able to speak with him in Season 2, Reedus is correct in that this would be one of the most explosive, most emotional moments ever in the series run. Reedus may be referring to something else in his promise for the finale of Season 2 of the show. But Carol...

George Clooney and Brad Pitt have often shared the screen together throughout their careers, bringing their real-life friendship into their work. The duo famously starred in Steven Soderbergh's Ocean's trilogy together, but this isn't their only collaboration. They have also worked together on a documentary, a televised play, and some other critically-acclaimed movies.

It's been 17 years since Clooney and Pitt signed off from the Ocean's franchise, but they are teaming up once again for a new action-comedy, Wolfs. Directed by Jon Watts, known for his work on Tom Holland's Spider-Man movies, Wolfs stars Pitt and Clooney as two professional fixers who reluctantly work together after being hired for the same job. Wolfs is already generating talk of a sequel, although it doesn't hit Apple TV+ until September 27. If the movie is a hit, the duo could have another franchise together.

Mckenna Grace is reunited with Missy actor Raegan Revord after Young Sheldon season 7 didn't bring back Paige. Paige's storyline, an important part of Young Sheldon's storytelling, was left unresolved in the finale because of Grace's absence. EP Steve Holland explained that there were two reasons why Paige wasn't in Young Sheldon season 7. Firstly, Grace was too busy, and the writers didn't think that there was a need to add more to her story after her season 6 appearance.

Mckenna Grace reunites with Missy actor Raegan Revord months after Young Sheldon season 7 ignored Paige Swanson. Pulling the plug on its premier comedy was controversial, but ending Young Sheldon wasn't CBS' decision. Instead, it was dictated by The Big Bang Theory canon. There were so many storylines that the prequel could still have done if it continued. Young Sheldon's shortened final season meant certain arcs were left unfinished. That included Paige's storyline, which didn't get a proper ending.

Blossom in John Krasinski's If stands out among the other imaginary friends with its classic animation. Blossom's Betty Boop-inspired design caused creative challenges for the VFX team. Phoebe Waller-Bridge's voice work as Blossom adds depth to the character in If.

Among the many great, magical characters in John Krasinski's If, Blossom (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) stands out for her personality and her classic animation. If has one of the most stacked casts in recent movie memory with Ryan Reynolds, Fiona Shaw, and Krasinski himself in live-action roles, and a who's who of popular actors in voice roles, including everyone from Jon Stewart to Awkwafina. These voice actors portray the many imaginary friends that Bea (Cailey Fleming) and Cal (Reynolds) help relocate to needy children.

Like Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends before If, the creatures in the movie all have unique and charming designs. One of the main imaginary friends is Blossom,...

Upon its debut in theaters earlier this year, John Krasinskis If was hoping to make a big splash at the box office, but unfortunately it ended up being nothing more than a pebble dropped into a very deep lake. Starring Ryan Reynolds as Cal, the family fantasy comedy only managed to take in $186 million at the box office, which is a far cry from the reported $275 million it needed to break even. They cant all be winners, but thankfully, with the advent of streaming films that might be a box office flop in the eyes of many are finding new life in a big way, and this includes If.

John Krasinski's If ranks ninth on a new streaming movie popularity chart for the week of July 4 10. If earned mixed reviews from critics but was more warmly received from audiences. The Ryan Reynolds-starring movie was a box office disappointment, grossing $185.8 million worldwide on an estimated budget of $110 million.

If starring Ryan Reynolds has now found success on streaming after a disappointing theatrical run. Written and directed by John Krasinski, If tells the story of Bea (Cailey Fleming), young girl who gains the ability to see other people's imaginary friends after she experiences personal hardship. Reynolds stars in the film as Cal, a man who has undertaken a mission to place abandoned imaginary friends with new children after their original children grow up. If's critic reviews were mixed upon its release earlier this year, and the movie grossed $185.8 million worldwide.

Our top pick for an awards contender to stream this week, crime drama “The Bikeriders,” has some names attached to it that have been in the conversation in awards seasons past. It stars Emmy and Tony winner Jodie Comer and Academy Award nominees Austin Butler, Tom Hardy, and Michael Shannon. Moreover, it’s written and directed by Jeff Nichols, whose previous film, 2016’s “Loving,” earned Ruth Negga an Academy Award nomination. While “The Bikeriders” looks more likely than not to miss out on major awards this year, don’t count Comer out yet in lead actress races. She is excellent in the film.

“The Bikeriders” is set in the midwest in the tumultuous years of the mid-to-late 1960s, and follows the rise and fall of Johnny Davis (Hardy), the founder of an outlaw motorcycle club, as seen through the eyes of his protegé’s wife, Kathy Cross (Comer). The club...

The film If explores the concept of imaginary friends and what happens to them when their creators grow up. The ending of If suggests that Bea's dad may also have an imaginary friend, adding a touching layer to the story. Brad Pitt voices an invisible imaginary friend in If, hinting at a potential connection between Bea's dad and this character.

Even though Beas dad isnt seen with an imaginary friend in If, the movie suggests hes had one all along. The 2024 film If asks what happens to imaginary friends once their inventors grow up. The movie follows twelve-year-old Bea, who can see the imaginary friends and tries to help them find new owners. Reflected in IFs reviews, the film is a touching look at growing up and forgotten innocence, though overall, John Krasinskis directorial effort received mixed reviews. Not only did Krasinski write and direct the film, but he was also a featured cast member.

John Krasinski’s If was released into cinemas on May 17 and last month, the family film was already announced to be available on digital streaming outlets for rent or purchase. The studio had also planned for a physical media release with a 4K Blu-ray set to hit stores on August 13. However, in between, the Ryan Reynolds imaginary friend comedy has just been made available to stream for subscribers of the service Paramount+.

This film is one of the many this year that has seen fast turnarounds from movie theater screenings to home video availability. It was recently announced that the epic Kevin Costner Western, Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter One, will be made available to rent or purchase on streaming on July 16, which is mere weeks after the movie premiered in theaters. Other movies like the Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt action film, The Fall Guy, as well as films...

Warning: Major Spoilers ahead for If.

If, directed by John Krasinski, is a PG-rated kids' movie containing heavy themes of parental loss and surgery. The use of mild language and emotional themes may not be suitable for all children, but the film is generally lighthearted. If, inspired by Krasinski's daughters, offers a heartfelt story with a magical twist, suitable for most young viewers.

John Krasinski's most recent film If is rated PG but may not be suitable for kids of all ages. The imaginative kids' movie, which is an abbreviation for Imaginary Friends, was somewhat surprisingly directed by Krasinski. He is best known as Jim Halpert from The Office but also as the celebrated writer and director of the 2018 horror hit A Quiet Place, which earned an outstanding 96% on Rotten Tomatoes. Krasinski was inspired to make If for his two daughters, Hazel, 10, and Violet, 7. While If divided critics, the film...

John Krasinski's new film If features both his directorial and acting talents. Krasinski, best known for his iconic role as Jim Halpert in the U.S. version of The Office, has emerged as a prominent film director with the critical acclaim of A Quiet Place, which earned an outstanding 96% on Rotten Tomatoes upon its 2018 release.

John Krasinski and Ryan Reynolds teamed up to make If, and the 2024 movie is now streaming after seeing its box office rebound.

John Krasinski's fantasy comedy film If premiered in 2024 to an underwhelming reception. Less than two months after its premiere, the film has already set a streaming release date.

Per Variety, If will be heading to Paramount+ on July 9. The fantasy film was Krasinski's first adventure to a different genre in a project that he wrote with his daughters in mind. The comedy boasts a star-studded cast, including a The Office reunion, but not even that was able to save the film.

“Amigos Imaginarios” es la única película original del top 10, ya que no forma parte de ninguna franquicia, secuela y tampoco es un biopic.

While Cailey Fleming delivers a scene-stealing performance in John Krasinski's If, many of you will likely know the actress best for her role as Judith in The Walking Dead.

That's not the only major franchise she's been part of, though, as Fleming previously played a young Rey in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and made a surprise appearance as a younger Sylvie in Marvel Studios' Loki.

Talking to us about If - her first lead role in a feature - Fleming reflected on playing those iconic characters and revealed whether she'd be open to returning to them down the line.

"That’s a good question. I think I would definitely like to go back to those," she tells us in the video below. "That would be really cool. I loved both of those even though I played such a small part in them. I would love to do it again.

Starring Cailey Fleming, Ryan Reynolds, and John Krasinski, If is a heartwarming and hilarious tale about a girl who discovers that she can see everyone's imaginary friends, known as IFs. She embarks on a magical journey to reconnect forgotten IFs with their kids, before they disappear.

Perfect for the whole family, the movie is written and directed by Krasinski and also features a stellar voice cast including Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Steve Carell, and the late Louis Gossett Jr.

If arrives to buy or rent on Digital on June 18 from Paramount Home Entertainment and debuts on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD on August 13. To celebrate its release, we recently sat down with Cailey to learn about how she approached the role of Bea and what she learned by sharing the screen with Krasinski, Reynolds, and more.

John Krasinski has had bit of a lopsided directing career. His first two feature directorial efforts, "Brief Interviews with Hideous Men" and "The Hollars," came and went with almost no real notice. Then Krasinski helmed the sci-fi horror film "A Quiet Place," which became a smash hit and got everyone's attention. He returned to helm the sequel "A Quiet Place Part Two," and then handed the franchise over to "Pig" filmmaker Michael Sarnoski, who is directing the upcoming prequel "A Quiet Place: Day One." While he might not have a "Quiet Place" film this year, Krasinski did direct another 2024 title: the family film "If" (you can read our review right here).

"If" opened to so-so box office numbers, but has held on surprisingly well. However, if you've avoided seeing it in theaters for whatever reason and are instead planning to watch the film at home, here's some good news: it's...

Paramount has now released details for the home releases of John Krasinski’s family film about imaginary friends. The movie had an underwhelming response from audience ticket sales as it was one of the unfortunate flops of the summer. Our own Chris Bumbray mentioned in his review, “In the end, If is nowhere near as bad as some of its detractors will say it is (people are already calling it the worst movie of the year), but it’s not that great, either. It’s an interesting misfire from a director who clearly has some major chops and a huge career ahead of him.”

Now, you’ll be able to judge for yourself as the Ryan Reynolds starrer comes home to open up your imagination. The press release reads, “Experience writer/director John Krasinski’s “heartwarming” and “hilarious” original adventure If when it arrives to buy or rent on Digital June 18, 2024 from Paramount Home Entertainment.

If's box office numbers pose a potential issue for an upcoming Ryan Reynolds film, Animal Friends. Although If has so far brought in $161.4 million worldwide, it may not break even. Reynolds' name alone wasn't enough to propel If to massive success, a worrying sign for future projects.

The box office performance of Ryan Reynolds latest film, If, poses a potential issue for one of his 2025 films. If is a CGI animation and live-action hybrid film about a young girl named Bea who discovers that Imaginary Friends (IFs) are real, but many of them are wandering lost souls now that their once-friends have aged and abandoned them. Throughout the film, Bea must work to save these IFs while simultaneously dealing with personal grief and family issues. Along the way, there are many hints that foreshadow If's biggest twist.

If has passed $100 million at the domestic box office. It is the seventh 2024 release to surpass that milestone. It most likely still hasn't reached its break-even point due to its $110 million budget.

If has passed a major domestic box office milestone. The new movie, which was directed by John Krasinski, stars Ryan Reynolds as Cal, a man who can see imaginary friends and teams up with his neighbor Bea (Cailey Fleming) to help reunite them with the children who dreamed them up. The cast also includes Krasinski, Fiona Shaw, and the voices of Steve Carell and Awkwafina. The If release got off to an inauspicious start when it opened to $33.7 million, barely making a dent in its reported $110 million budget.

Per Deadline, the If box office has now surpassed a major domestic milestone during its fifth weekend in theaters. As of Saturday, the movie is projected to earn a 3-day...
