While most major Hollywood releases originally set for this fall or winter have been pushed back to late 2021 (or postponed indefinitely), the Ryan Reynolds action-comedy Free Guy is still set to be released in theatres on December 11, 2020.

The film stars Reynolds as a bank teller who discovers that he is a NPC (non-playable character) in an open-world video game, which sets him off on a path to become the hero of his own story.

Free Guy is directed by Shawn Levy (Night at the Museum) from a screenplay by Matt Lieberman and Zak Penn, and features an incredible cast including Jodie Comer, Joe Keery, Lil Rel Howery, Utkarsh Ambudkar, and Taika Waititi.

Check out the latest trailer below. Free Guy is scheduled to hit theatres on December 11 (a week before Denis Villeneuve’s Dune). We’ll see if either of those actually open this year, but given the sheer uncertainty about the spread and economic impact of coronavirus, anything is possible.
