In a film with shades of The Truman Show and Stranger Than Fiction, Reynolds’ Guy slowly realises that the explosions, car accidents, violence and bank heists he experiences every day aren’t normal.
After coming into possession of a special pair of sunglasses, Guy is able to see that his home of Free City is in truth an open-world video game, full of tasks, missions and secret passageways.
Free Guy also marks the Hollywood debut of Killing Eve’s Jodie Comer. She plays a gun-toting character known as Molotov Girl.
“Guy, this world, it’s a video game, and it’s full of bad guys,” she tells him. “We need you to be the good guy.”
Directed by Shawn Levy, one of the producers of Stranger Things, the film co-stars Taika Waititi, Joe Keery, Channing Tatum and Get Out’s Lil Rel Howery.
Free Guy is also one of the most high-profile Disney films to have begun development at 20th Century Fox, before being carried over to Disney upon the merger of both companies.
The film is released in the UK on 3 July, 2020.
