Free Guy has finally premiered in cinemas, after the pandemic delayed the release date by several months.

Shawn Levy’s blockbuster, which boasts a star-studded cast, sees Ryan Reynolds in the role of Guy, a non-playable character in Free City, whose world is shaken when he learns that he has in fact been living in a video game.

With the help of Millie and Keys (Jodie Comer and Joe Keery respectively), he attempts to become his own hero, while also wrestling control of his world back from gaming tycoon Antoine (Taika Waititi).

The flick is set to score big at the box office over the opening weekend, with Ryan announcing that Disney has confirmed their interest in a sequel.

Following a lengthy delay due to the coronavirus pandemic, Free Guy landed on the big screen on Friday, meaning it is in cinemas right now.

While other films at the moment have been released simultaneously on streaming and in cinemas, there are currently no plans for the movie to follow suit.

So if you want a glimpse into Free City, you’ll have to do so in person, or wait until a home entertainment slate.
