The script for Free Guy 2 is almost finished, and it may include just as many celebrity cameos as Ryan Reynolds’ Free Guy. Here is a comprehensive list of all the actors, video game characters, and other characters who appear in the first film. The video game-inspired movie is the newest instalment in the Deadpool actor’s action franchise. Shawn Levy, director of Real Steel and producer of Stranger Things, has produced one of 2021’s finest blockbusters based on the overwhelmingly good reviews for Free Guy. Due to Free Guy’s success, a Free Guy 2 announcement and perhaps even more films are in the works.
Reynolds plays the role of Guy, a bank teller who appears in the video game Free City as an NPC. Guy is a non-player character (NPC). After meeting Millie, sometimes known as Molotov Girl, Guy’s life and programming are permanently altered (Jodie Comer). Guy learns that Free City is a video game and starts assisting in keeping his home and his friends safe rather than going through with his programming to be a character for real-life players to steal from, kill, etc. He starts collaborating with Millie to decipher the code for Free City, which she and Keys (Joe Keery) think is where the original version of their game, Free Life, is supposed to be concealed. Free Guy has proven to be a truly enjoyable film with a lot of action and emotion, enough to call for Free Guy 2, thanks in large part to its ensemble.
Joe Keery, Lil Rel Howery, Utkarsh Ambudkar, and Taika Waititi all have significant supporting roles in Free Guy, even if Reynolds and Comer carry the majority of the film on their shoulders. But Free Guy also has a tonne of other unexpected celebrity cameos. While other performers and gamers are visible on screen throughout the movie, some of these come through vocal cameos. This comprehensive list of Free Guy’s celebrity cameos is provided.
Alex Trebek
The late Jeopardy host Alex Trebek also makes a guest appearance in Free Guy. A montage covering the expanding fanbase for “Blue Shirt Guy” features the multi-award-winning and illustrious game show host. Prior to the release of Free Guy, Trebek’s cameo was confirmed by Reynolds, who passed away following a protracted fight with pancreatic cancer.
Channing Tatum
Channing Tatum had one of the most notable celebrity cameos in Free Guy, though it is unknown at this time if the actor will return for Free Guy 2. He appears both early in the film and afterwards as Keith’s virtual counterpart in the game. Finally, he has a gameplay recording that shows Free City was created using the same code as Free Life. Tatum is most recognised for his roles as Mike in the Magic Mike films and as Jenko in the 21 Jump Street trilogy.
Chris Evans
In the epilogue of Free Guy, Chris Evans plays a cameo role as himself. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Evans is best known for playing Steve Rogers, aka Captain America, and this appearance is closely related to that role. In the third act of Free Guy, there is a scene where Guy borrows Captain America’s shield to defend himself. However, the scene is being live-streamed, and the picture then changes to an alarmed Evans watching “Blue Shirt Guy” utilise the Captain America shield in the real world. Only Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox and Marvel made this funny appearance feasible. If they want to make a running joke, Guy might not utilise Captain America’s shield in Free Guy 2, but Thor’s hammer would be an excellent substitute.
DanTDM
DanTDM, also known as Daniel Middleton, makes a cameo appearance in DanTDM Free Guy. He is a YouTuber with a focus on Minecraft, including his Minecraft Hardcore playthrough and his own original animated work. He has more than 25 million subscribers on his YouTube account.
Dwayne Johnson
Mr. The Rock Dwayne Reynolds and Johnson once again collaborate for Johnson’s voice-only celebrity cameo in Free Guy. One of the numerous bank robbers Guy faces in Free City is voiced by Johnson. Johnson’s voice is well known because of the Rock’s career in WWE and his several significant film roles. On Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw, he and Reynolds had worked together. They also appear in the Netflix action film Red Notice from 2021 with Gal Gadot. The Rock making an appearance in Free Guy 2 is not impossible, but Disney should be cautious about making too many repeat appearances.
Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman’s cameo in the movie Free Guy is the result of their internet “rivalry” with Ryan Reynolds. Years ago, the two made a memorable appearance in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and Reynolds persisted in pushing for Jackman’s Wolverine to appear in a Deadpool movie. Instead, as an avatar that Molotov Girl seeks out in an alley, Jackman makes a voice cameo. Levy and Jackman previously collaborated on the film Real Steel. Given the two’s amusing “feud,” a voiceover appearance wouldn’t be a difficult choice for Free Guy 2 and would be warmly received in the film.
Jacksepticeye
Seán McLoughlin, aka Jacksepticeye, one of Ireland’s top YouTubers, also makes an appearance in Free Guy. He first gained notoriety as a result of his Let’s Play video series and collaboration with PewDiePie. He has more than 27 million subscribers on his YouTube account.
John Krasinski
In Free Guy, John Krasinski also makes an appearance as a voiceover celebrity. He performs the voice of “Silhouetted Gamer,” a character who may be heard discussing his Free City playing experience in a TV interview. Despite his recent notoriety as the A Quiet Place series’ director, Krasinski is still best recognised for his role as Jim Halpert in NBC’s smash comedy The Office. Reynolds and Levy aren’t someone with whom Krasinski has previously collaborated, although they are friends in real life. Additionally, they will both appear in Paramount’s Imaginary Friends as co-stars. It’s improbable, but not impossible, that Silhouetted Gamer will show up in Free Guy 2 given his cameo role.
Lazarbeam
Lannan Eacott, as Lazarbeam, is another streamer who makes an appearance in Free Guy. When he started sharing videos of his Fortnite Battle Royale games in 2018, his fame skyrocketed. The Australian streamer’s Minecraft videos are also well-known.
Ninja
The appearance of Ninja is a good illustration of how Free Guy uses some of the biggest names and faces in online gaming in addition to the celebrity cameos it makes use of. By predominantly broadcasting Fornite and Apex Legends, Richard Tyler Blevins become well-known in recent years. After surpassing more than 16 million subscribers, he now has the most followers on Twitch in history. Given the Free Guy franchise’s premise, it’s likely that Free Guy 2 will feature more Twitch streamers.
Pokimane
Pokimane also makes an appearance in Free Guy. She is a renowned Twitch streamer who made a name for herself by playing League of Legends and Fortnite online. More than eight million people subscribe to her channel, and she was named Best Twitch Streamer at the 2018 Shorty Awards.
Tina Fey
In Free Guy, Tina Fey also makes a brief appearance as Keith’s mother, however she is given the title “Vacuuming Mom” in the credits. The SNL star would undoubtedly return if Keith is featured once more in Free Guy 2. Fey is most known for her work on SNL and 30 Rock, and most recently, she provided 22’s voice in Pixar’s Soul. She has a link to Free Guy because she co-starred with Steve Carell in Shawn Levy’s 2010 comedy Date Night.
Did Free Guy’s Celebrity Appearances Add To The Movie?
Celebrity cameos in Free Guy gave the film a little fun and personality. It’s not like Ryan Reynolds’ acting abilities prevented him from carrying Free Guy. But the appearance of Channing Tatum, Hugh Jackman, and Tina Fey brought a lot more fun, which would not have been present without their cameos. Even though they were given reduced roles, the performers were still able to crack jokes about their characters. Particularly Channing Tatum’s Revenjamin Buttons, who has a funny discussion with Guy, is a lovely addition to the film. Additionally, the staged appearance capitalises on his humorous talents, and the original character surprises everyone by ultimately revealing that he is a tremendous fan of Guy. Tatum’s comedic ability was demonstrated in 21 Jump Street, and his appearance in the Free Guy celebrity cameo only serves to emphasise this. Cameos typically ruin big-budget films, but in the rare instance of Free Guy, they enhanced it.
Is Free Guy 2 Happening?
Free Guy 2 was announced, however without a release date or any specifics on the plot, as a result of the enormous success of the first film. Ryan Reynolds, who plays Guy, one of the returning cast members, is among them. Additionally, there will undoubtedly be recognisable personalities returning to the franchise based on the number of celebrity cameos in Free Guy. Free Guy 2’s script, which will have an entirely new story, is almost finished. Additionally, studios have indicated that there may be additional films in development in addition to Free Guy 2. Since most high-budget sequels fail to garner the same level of popularity as their predecessors, let’s hope the Free Guy series can keep audiences laughing.
