'Free Guy 2 won't be rushed': Shawn Levy explains why NOT to expect movie sequel any time soon
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Remember Ryan Reynold's 'Free Guy'? What a fresh breath of air that was with its unique storyline that played around with the whole 'video game' film genre. Well, there might be a sequel in the works but don't expect it to drop anytime soon, or so says the director Shawn Levy. Levy's project platter is full with a plethora of films, starting from 'Deadpool 3,' starring Hugh Jackman, and the fifth and final season of Netflix's 'Stranger Things.'
The 54-year-old director, who helmed the 2021 comedy starring Ryan Reynolds as a "NPC" bank teller who after discovering he is a "non-playable character" in a massively multiplayer online video game, decides to make some changes. The film was done right with just the right mix of action and comedy with some terrific visual sequences. Levy discussed his upcoming plans for the sequel and whether it is being developed or not. Giving reference to his own 2011's film, 'Real Steel' he justified they are not rushing into 'Free Guy 2' either. Levy gained recognition in the 2000s for directing comedy films like 'Big Fat Liar' and 'Just Married' before subsequently helming the 'Cheaper by the Dozen,' 'The Pink Panther,' and 'Night at the Museum's film franchises.
