Inside Jennifer Garner And Mark Ruffalo's Sweet Reunion

It seems like a situation that would come to fruition with the help of some wishing dust!

Jennifer Garner and Mark Ruffalo recently reunited to film a Netflix film called "The Adam Project," released on the platform on March 9th. If you thought the situation couldn't get any more cosmic or a move made by the romcom gods, the duo play parents!

Garner and Ruffalo took time out to pay tribute to their first film together during the promotional tour for "The Adam Project," and gave the already-incredibly sweet reunion moment an extra dose of razzle-dazzle: They involved Walker Scobel, who plays their son in the film to join in on the nostalgia trip.

The actors' charismatic friendship was immediately on display in the clip, which, according to People, was shared on Instagram.

Garner and Ruffalo exchanged cute banter about how much time has passed since "13 Going On 30's" release, (has it SERIOUSLY been 18 years?) and as an extra dose of sweetness, Garner brought out a pack of the beloved candy Razzles, which was a staple of Jenna and Matty's friendship!

The couple's on-screen son Walker Scobel then delivers some wise-beyond-his-years wit rivaling a young Lucy 'Tom-Tom' Wyman from "13 Going On 30!"

Scobel, who is a brand-new actor on the block, plopped on the couch alongside Garner and Ruffalo and immediately began bringing the banter.

He delivered a rapid-fire response to his on-screen parents when they teased him about whether he has seen the movie that first brought them together.

The teen came out swinging when he asked "Didn't that movie come out like forever ago? Like before I was even born, I think." with a mischievous glint in his eye!
