Deadpool Is No Longer Ryan Reynolds' Favourite Movie — Free Guy Is

Ryan Reynolds says that Free Guy is his "favourite" movie he's made.

In the new movie, the 43-year-old actor plays Guy, a non-playable character in a video game who becomes aware of his surroundings and sets to out become a hero.

Speaking on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday (May 5), Reynolds said: " Free Guy, I think it's my favourite movie I've ever been a part of.

"It's about a bank teller, who, every day he's shot at, hurt, injured and one day he realises he's a background character in an open world video game and decided to take the power back."

The flick — which also features Jodie Comer and Joe Keery — has had its release shifted back to December due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic but Ryan feels that it will bring cheer to audiences at a difficult time.

Reynolds said: "[The movie is] so funny and just a total fastball of joy, which I think we need more than ever."

"I see infinite possibility in either version. I think if Deadpool was in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I think it would be explosive and amazing and what a sandbox to play in. If Deadpool continued just to be do his own thing and be his own thing, also just like infinite possibilities."

He added: "I write with two other guys, Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, who are geniuses and we have so much fun. There's a lot more story to tell so we hope we can get to do it."

Reynolds is also shooting Netflix comedy thriller Red Notice alongside Dwayne Johnson, although production has been suspended due to the global health crisis.

He joked: "I'd say we made it one or two days past the halfway mark. We might have finished the movie if we didn't spend 90 per cent of the time d***ing around."
