Ryan Reynolds is putting on some serious muscle for one of his roles in Free Guy, a new science-fiction comedy film about a video game character who becomes self-aware.
Guy, played by Reynolds, is an NPC or non-playable character who discovers that he is in an open-world video game. Guy then takes it upon himself to be the hero – both in the game and out of it – in order to save his world before the developers shut it down permanently.
But this isn’t the only role Reynolds is set to play, as he will also portray Dude – a buff henchman sent by the villainous Antwan (Taika Waititi) to stop Guy. It’s Reynolds vs Reynolds and wacky hijinks ensues!
