Free Guy, which premiered in theaters on August 13, 2021, stars Reynolds as Guy, a bank teller in the video game Free City, who is unaware that he’s a video game character. The movie follows Guy as he discovers the truth of his universe and fights alongside Molotovgirl (a character controlled by real-life player Millie) to save his game from a video game CEO who wants to wipe his universe’s data forever. Since it premiered in 2021, Free Guy has since grossed more than $121.6 million in the United States and Canada and $209.9 million overseas for a worldwide total of $331.5 million. The film, which is Reynolds’ second highest-grossing movie ever, was also well-reviewed by critics, with a Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

In an interview with Collider in 2021, Reynolds explained how Free Guy was inspired by 1998’s The Truman Show, which featured similar themes of surveillance. “The Truman Show is a huge influence for me as well. The fish bowl idea is an integral part of the DNA of this movie,” he said. “The Truman Show is as much a part of this movie as E.T. and Back to the Future, and all of that wish fulfillment, Amblin type of entertainment that came out in the ‘80s and ‘90s, which I was weaned on and I think is something that we don’t really have in cinema as much. Wish fulfillment is an important part of life. Wish fulfillment is such a huge of our DNA and our makeup. So, those elements were super important to me. The Truman Show really was a hallmark movie. In terms of it being next level and really taking an idea to a different place, I thought that did such a beautiful job.”
Jodie Comer, who plays Millie/Molotovgirl, also told the site about how Free Guy drew influence from action movies like Indiana Jones, Tomb Raider and The Mummy. “It’s probably the coolest I’m ever gonna be, to be honest. It’s definitely not how I navigate my own life. It was incredible because I learned a lot, in terms of the physicality of her,” she said. “This was my first film, so to come in and also have to learn a lot of new, exciting skills, I really just wanted to throw myself into it and do everything I possibly could. It’s all in the editing. The edits made me look a lot cooler because they don’t show the scenes of me missing a mark. I’d never thrown a punch before in a movie.”
