After years of waiting, Ryan Reynolds' comedy action film, Free Guy, premiered last year and was met with both critical acclaim and commercial success. The movie, which starred Reynolds as an NPC in a popular online video game who gains sentience and ends up being an unlikely hero, grossed $331.5 million against an estimated $125 million budget. Although this is not an astronomical amount by any means, the fact that the movie pulled in as much despite the COVID-19 lockdowns was impressive and immediately led to a sequel.
Unfortunately, ever since Reynolds confirmed that a sequel was coming, neither Disney nor 20th Century Studios has revealed more information about Free Guy 2 - until now.
20th Century Studios president Steve Asbell shared with THR that the script for Free Guy 2 is almost done. Asbell explained that the studio is "awaiting a script that is days away", describing it as a "fantastic story." In addition, Asbell let it on that there are "more Free Guy movies coming", implying that Reynolds is now the star of at least two Disney-owned franchises with Deadpool officially joining the MCU.
