Free Guy 2 Script

In an interview with The Holywood Reporter, President of 20th Century Studios Steve Asbell has claimed that the script for Free Guy 2 is "days away".

Just a few weeks ago Free Guy director Shawn Levy and star Ryan Reynolds indicated that they're receptive to making a sequel but won't be rushed into making an unworthy followup.

If you’re not aware, Free Guy was the most successful original movie during the pandemic, making over $331 million around the world. With that kind of success, I asked if Disney has been calling them on a regular basis asking for updates, and if they could start filming it sooner than later. Levy told me:

“I've definitely gotten that phone call. I don't know how to quantify the how much, but that exact phone call that you just basically paraphrased, that's a call. I've gotten a few of those in the past several months. So there is definitely real interest there. But to Ryan's point, we knew. We had such a clear idea of the tone, the story, the details of Free Guy, and we both made a few sequels in our lives, and so we know how hard it is to make a worthy one. And when we feel confident that's the kind we'll make, then we'll make it.”

Possibly Disney have people working on a script which they hope to convince Levy and Reynolds to make but it has to be good enough.

Plus the pair also have other projects in development.
