Ryan Reynolds Is a Non-Playable Character in 'Free Guy'
The film also stars Taika Waititi, Lil Rel Howery and Jodie Comer.
During the CCXP19 event held over the weekend, 20th Century Fox debuted the first trailer for its upcoming Free Guy action-comedy starring Ryan Reynolds.
Free Guy is a hilarious look into the world of a video game where a non-playable character (Ryan Reynolds) realizes he’s in a game and decides that he wants to join in on the fun. In the visuals posted above, Reynolds portrays a blissfully oblivious NPC who fulfills his background role in a Grand Theft Auto-style game until he questions his purpose and, naturally, becomes a hero that saves his virtual world. Free Guy also marks the Hollywood debut of Killing Eve’s Jodie Comer. She plays a gun-toting character known as Molotov Girl. Lil Rel Howery, Utkarsh Ambudkar and Taika Waititi also star.
Many believe Free Guy could be a test from Disney to see if similar humor from the film could use for a third Deadpool movie. Additionally the film is rumored to be a test to see if the next Deadpool movie could get away with a PG-13 rating instead of an R rating.
Free Guy is scheduled for a July 3, 2020 release.
