Ryan Reynolds answered some of the internet's top questions about his new film Free Guy. Free Guy is an upcoming American sci-fi action comedy starring Reynolds, Jodie Comer, Lil Rel Howery, Utkarsh Ambudkar, Joe Keery, and Taika Waititi. The film follows Guy (Reynolds) as he realizes he is the background character in a video game and sets out on an adventure to become the hero by keeping the game from going offline.
Early reviews have praised Free Guy for its unique gamer setting and for its fun and heartwarming premise. The film's year-long delay due to COVID-19, combined with these early positive reviews, has raised anticipation for its August 13th release. Reynolds has been actively promoting the film on social media, even creating an unexpected MCU crossover with a video of Deadpool and Korg reacting to Free Guy's trailer. In his typical humorous fashion, he took to social media yet again to share more about the upcoming film.
Reynolds posted a short video in which he answered some commonly searched for questions about Free Guy. In the video, he labeled Free Guy as "Jodie Comer's new film" and also teased YouTuber Jacksepticeye's secret role in the film, along with many other surprises. Reynolds also hilariously discouraged piracy of the film, telling users who researched how to download the full film to "enjoy the malware." Check out Reynolds' Tweet below:

For the most part, Reynolds kept his answers light and refrained from revealing any secrets. Perhaps his most interesting answer was to the question of where to watch Free Guy, to which he responded, "Definitely NOT STREAMING." His response is interesting considering Disney's acquisition of the film and their plan to stream Free Guy on Disney+ 45-days after its release. With theaters increasingly reopening, it has raised interesting debates about how streaming services should handle new film releases. However, Reynolds answer reveals that, despite the fact that it will eventually be available for streaming, Free Guy is the kind of action-packed film that is specifically designed for the big screen and gives viewers his pick on which viewing option they should choose.
Overall, Reynolds' post gives some insight into the nature of Free Guy, pointing to its potential to bring larger crowds back to the theater and its promise for surprises. The film will be released one week after James Gunn's The Suicide Squad is set to premiere, ensuring that August will be good month for the theater business. Meanwhile, the positive early reviews that Free Guy has received is promising for Reynolds after his most recent film, The Hitman's Bodyguard's Wife, received poor reviews. The film is anticipated to be quite a success and, unless Reynolds leaks it online for free, Free Guy may be a nice advantage to theaters this summer.
