Ryan Reynolds has long been Hollywood’s master of charm and chaos, blending razor-sharp wit with action-packed charisma, turning each role into a cinematic event. From Deadpool’s irreverent humor to box office-smashing comedies, he has reshaped what it means to be a leading man. And now his film from 2021 is back in the spotlight.

Among Netflix’s top ten most popular movies, Ryan Reynolds’ Red Notice is holding strong in second place, just behind K-pop Demon Hunters. Released in 2021, this American action comedy, written and directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber, stars Reynolds in a high-octane, hilarious adventure. 

Netflix reported that the film became the most-watched movie during its debut weekend and dominated the platform until 2025. It also ranked as the fifth most-streamed movie of 2021, cementing Reynolds’ status as a streaming powerhouse.

Red Notice remains atop Netflix charts due to its perfect blend of high-octane action, sharp humor, and globe-trotting heist thrills. Ryan Reynolds, Gal Gadot, and Dwayne Johnson deliver magnetic performances, while clever twists and double-crosses keep viewers guessing. 

Stunning locations, elaborate set pieces, and a fast-paced, witty script create irresistible entertainment. Its mix of comedy, suspense, and star power makes it a binge-worthy show, and alongside it, Jason Bateman’s film is also topping Netflix charts currently.

The Netflix sensation that proves Jason Bateman still has it

Jason Bateman delivers a chilling performance as the ruthless Traveler in Carry-On, a 2024 action thriller. The film has captivated Netflix audiences and follows a tense Christmas Eve plot where a TSA officer is forced to allow a lethal nerve agent on a flight.

With high-stakes suspense, clever twists, and relentless pacing, the movie keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. Currently, it ranks just behind Ryan Reynolds’ Red Notice, securing the number three spot on Netflix’s Most Popular Movies.

Taron Egerton stars as Ethan Kopek, a TSA officer forced into a deadly Christmas Eve plot, while Sofia Carson plays his pregnant girlfriend, Nora Parisi. Danielle Deadwyler is LAPD detective Elena Cole, tracking the lethal nerve agent, and Tonatiuh Elizarraraz portrays coerced passenger Mateo Flores. 

Theo Rossi is the Watcher, Logan Marshall-Green is Agent John Alcott, Josh Brener is Herschel, and others. Netflix’s vault proves that Jason Bateman and Ryan Reynolds remain evergreen, consistently drawing massive audiences with their high-stakes, blockbuster hits.
