20 Most Anticipated Movies Still To Come In 2021

The latest tentpole from Night at the Museum director Shawn Levy stars Ryan Reynolds as Guy, an NPC in an open-world video game who becomes aware of this fact, and must fight to prevent his world from being shut down.

As the trailers make intensely evident, Free Guy isn't a movie that's taking itself one iota too seriously, employing high-end VFX to make playful fun of modern AAA video games.

Reynolds appears to be playing a riff on his popular quippy persona, though female lead Jodie Comer is a far cry from her droll Killing Eve role here, playing programmer Milly who goes by the in-game moniker Molotov Girl.

Lil Rel Howery, Joe Keery, and Taika Waititi co-star in what might be one of the most breezily entertaining films of the summer.

Free Guy releases on August 13.
