The distaste Ryan Reynolds seems to have for a Free Guy 2 may be indicative of a larger franchise fatigue.
Back in 2021 following a pandemic-forced delay, the video game movie Free Guy released in theaters. In it, Ryan Reynolds played an NPC in a fictional who became aware of his existence and helped a player fight back against his game’s developer. Joined by Jodie Comer, Taika Waititi, and Lil Rel Howrey, it was generally considered to be a fairly good movie and did fairly well at the box office, which means a follow up is expected of it.
Reynolds and director Shawn Levy confirmed around this time last year that a Free Guy 2 was in the works, it was just something they wanted to take their time on.
