In the open world computer game Free City, an amalgamation of grand larceny Auto and Fortnite, Guy Reynolds may be a non-player character (NPC) working as a bank teller. because of code developed by programmers Milly (Comer) and Keys (Keery) inserted into Free City by the publisher Antoine (Waititi), Guy becomes conscious of his world being a computer game , and takes steps to form himself the hero, creating a race against the clock to save lots of the sport before the developers can shut it down 

Free Guy had been in development at 20th Century Fox before its acquisition by Disney, and is one among the primary Fox films to continue production under Disney ownership, also as under the studio's new name 20th Century Studios. Ryan Reynolds, who produced the film along side Shawn Levy, said "I haven’t been this fully immersed and engaged in something since Deadpool".
The film started principal photography in Boston in May 2019, including round the city's Financial District.Filming also happened in downtown Worcester, Massachusetts, and Framingham, Massachusetts, within the former Framingham bank

Free Guy is scheduled to be theatrically released within the us on December 11, 2020. The film was initially scheduled for release on July 3, 2020, but was delayed thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic.
