20th Century Studios president Steve Asbell says the Free Guy 2 script is days away from completion. Last year’s Free Guy was written by Matt Lieberman and Zak Penn and directed by Shawn Levy.
Recently, both Reynolds and Levy talked about the sequel moving forward, saying that they would move forward with Free Guy 2 when they felt confident that they have a worthy idea for it. It now appears that they may have cracked the code for Free Guy 2, as the script is days away from being turned in.
Talking to THR, 20th Century Studios president Steve Asbell said that they are “Awaiting a script that is days away” for the sequel, and that “It’s a fantastic story.” Asbell talked about a number of upcoming projects for the Disney-owned division, from Avatar to Planet of the Apes and beyond, mentioning that “…we have more Free Guy movies coming” which implies not only one new sequel for the franchise, but others to follow.
With Free Guy making its debut on streaming last month, more and more viewers are discovering it, driving the popularity of the film, as well as a strong desire for a sequel.
There’s no doubt that Free Guy 2 and any sequels or spinoffs that follow will continue to capitalize on the IP, which is ripe for exploration.
