Ryan Reynolds’ hilarious promo for Free Guy already proves it’s his next big hit

There’s not even a trailer out for Free Guy, starring Ryan Reynolds, but the promo alone is enough proof that the Deadpool actor has another hit on his hands.
Few things get fans revved up about a movie more than a trailer. The rising music, the heroic speeches and the brief character cameos are all it takes for fans to go from zero to 100. That is… unless it’s a movie starring Deadpool’s Ryan Reynolds. Then, all you’d have to do is mention that it’s a Ryan Reynolds movie and fans are sold.
Luckily, the always-busy actor already has another film rolling out next summer, Free Guy, and a promo for the movie hit the web following 20th Century Fox’s panel at New York Comic Con today.
The promo video features Reynolds along with the all-star cast of the movie: Joe Keery (Stranger Things), Jodie Comer (Killing Eve) and Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok). But here’s the power of Ryan Reynolds: the group barely discusses anything about the movie at all in the nearly two-minute preview, and it’s still enough to get you amped to see it.
Waititi talks about how great it is to work with the cast for the first time, until Keery and Comer call out that Waititi and Reynolds have actually worked together before. Of course, the truth is out there… the two both had roles in the infamous Green Lantern movie. And with that, they both quietly exited stage left instead of admitting to their past mistakes.
The chemistry of the cast in the video alone proves that the movie should be an instant hit. And the way Taika Waititi, in particular, appears in this promo, one would think that it’s his next film. That’s not the case, though. The film is being directed by Shawn Levy, director and producer for Netflix’s Stranger Things (already another sign of success).
Now, all that’s left is for Fox to release the trailer to the public. New York Comic Con attendees got to see a first glimpse of the movie, which hopefully means the online trailer will drop sooner rather than later.
