Film Career
In the summer of 2020, Scobell auditioned to play the younger version of Ryan Reynolds's main character, Adam Reed, in the Netflix science-fiction action comedy film "The Adam Project." Thanks to his impersonation of Reynolds, which he honed through many rewatches of the actor's film "Deadpool," Scobell landed the part over hundreds of other child actors. Directed by Shawn Levy, "The Adam Project" was released on Netflix in March of 2022. That summer, Scobell starred opposite Owen Wilson in the Paramount+ superhero comedy film "Secret Headquarters." He played Charlie Kincaid, a kid who suspects his father of being a superhero after discovering a clandestine headquarters in his basement. The film also features Keith L.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians
Scobell became more widely known in late 2023 when he began starring as the titular protagonist in the Disney+ fantasy television series "Percy Jackson and the Olympians."
