At this time, plot details are scarce at this time. However, it will be based on Krasinksi’s original idea about a child’s journey to discover their imagination. Additionally, previous rumors suggest the film follows a man who can see and speak with other people’s imaginary friends. His duty is to find those who have been forgotten or discarded and turned evil. Ultimately, he will attempt to save the world from being overrun.

The upcoming project will notably reunite John Krasinski and his co-star from The Office, Steve Carell. Since starring as the eclectic Michael Scott in the series, Carell has gone on to receive critical acclaim for his work in films like The Big Short and Battle of the Sexes. The actor most recently appeared in the Apple TV+ series The Morning Show and will next star in season two of Netflix’s Space Force. Meanwhile, the multi-time Emmy, Golden Globe, and BAFTA winner, Phoebe Waller-Bridge recently contributed to the screenplay of the upcoming James Bond film No Time to Die. Additionally, she will join Mads Mikkelsen and Harrison Ford in James Mangold’s Indiana Jones 5.
