Taika Waititi Will Join Ryan Reynolds in Director Shawn Levy's FREE GUY

It looks like Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok) is going to take a break from directing and appear in Ryan Reynolds‘ upcoming film Free Guy, which is being directed by Stranger Things producer and director Shawn Levy. It’s also reported that Utkarsh Ambudkar (Pitch Perfect, Blindspotting, The Mindy Project, Mulan) has also joined the film.

The story centers around a bank teller (Reynolds) “stuck in his routine discovers he’s a background character in a rather brutal open world, action-adventure video game and he is the only one capable of saving his world.” It’s also said the film is in the vein of The Truman Show.

There’s no information on who Waititi is playing, but he will join the previously cast Jodie Comer, Joe Kerry and Lil Rel.

I love the concept. This could end up being an incredibly fun movie, especially with a cast like Reynolds and Waititi. I hope that they share a lot of screen time together! It seems like they would make an awesomely hilarious comedic duo.

What do you think about Wiatiti and Reynolds starring in a film together?
