Ryan Reynolds has a number of projects waiting for him on his return, and Free Guy director Levy has his own slate of projects to deal with, including his work on the new series of Stranger Things. We both made a few sequels in our lives, and we know how hard it is to make a worthy one, because we had a clear idea of the tone, the story, and the details of Free Guy.
The subject of Free Guy 2 came up when the pair spoke to Collider, and those expecting a quick sequel are going to be disappointed. Fans of the film have been asking if there will be a sequel, and director Levy has now answered that question. Ryan Reynolds's movie Free Guy was a big success when it was released last year, pulling in a gross of $331 million worldwide and now ready to be a hit all over again to Disney+ audiences in the U.S.
Free Guy, one of the most successful movies of the last two years, is only available on the U.S. version of Disney+.
Levy said that there is a lot of interest from Disney to do a sequel, but it will not happen unless he knows they can get it right. With more people discovering the world of Free Guy, there is no doubt that there will be more calls for a sequel.
I don't know how to say how much, but that phone call is a call. The movie stars Reynolds as a background character in a video game who becomes aware that his world is not what he is programmed to believe. We were happy that Free Guy was as successful as it was and that it was an original movie at a time when few get made and even fewer are hits. It might be fun to make a sequel if we can crack it. We'll make it when we feel confident.
Levy said that he had definitely gotten that phone call. When will a sequel be given to a successful movie? In the past few months, I've gotten a few of those. Levy said they loved Free Guy. We were aware of Ryan's point. There is a lot of interest there. That was gratifying.
