Could Ryan Reynolds venture to the Upside Down? Well, stranger things have happened!

Stranger Things executive producer and director Shawn Levy says Reynolds would fit right in with the Stranger Things' cast, which includes Winona Ryder, Millie Bobby Brown and David Harbour

And Levy should know. He and fellow Canadian Reynolds recently worked together on Free Guy, The Adam Project and the upcoming Deadpool 3

"I want to see a Ryan Reynolds cameo in anything," Levy told The Hollywood Reporter. "The truth is, my career over the past half-decade has been defined by Stranger Things and my collaborations with Ryan, so it would be deeply trippy but satisfying to see my two worlds collide."

He continued, "So, Ryan Reynolds, get ready for season five."

While we don't want to get our hopes up, Reynolds is the king of cameos as he has uncredited appearances in A Million Ways to Die in the West, Ted and Taylor Swift's "You Need to Calm Down" music video.

Plus, Levy and Reynolds love collaborating. According to Reynolds, if they "could make every movie for the rest of our lives together" they would, with Levy adding that they have a "bromance."

"We feel really lucky that we found each other," Reynolds said in an interview with the Terrace Standard. "Creatively and spiritually, we're so aligned. We've never even had a fight. We've disagreed on a million things, but it's never muddied with a weird emotional experience, which can happen in the arts."
