‘Free Guy’ Trailer: Ryan Reynolds Is Ready To Be Player One
It is kind of nuts that anything that comes out from 20th Century Fox is now technically a “Disney” movie. (They bought the studio from its parent company earlier this year.) That twisted fact is used to nice comic effect at the start of the trailer for Free Guy one of Fox/Disney’s big 2020 summer blockbusters, where Ryan Reynolds plays a video game NPC who decides to bust out of his helpless, meaningless, repetitive existence.
Here’s the first trailer for the film, which debuted this weekend at CCXP in Brazil:
Here’s the movie’s official synopsis:
In “Free Guy,” a bank teller who discovers he is actually a background player in an open-world video game, decides to become the hero of his own story…one he rewrites himself.
