Even thoughFree Guyaccumulated $323 million at the worldwide box office, the path to a sequel will not be easy for a virtual simulation film. Shawn Levy shares how the massive success of Greta Gerwig’sBarbiehas changed the idea and trajectory of the storyline of the sequel. During an exclusive interview withCollider, Levy expresses his concern aboutFree Guy 2’sstoryline as both films focused on showing the lives of fictional characters attaining self-awareness of how the real world works.
“I think it is definitely not assured. We love ‘Free Guy’ and the love for ‘Free Guy’ that has kind of resonated in aftershocks, if you will, in the last couple of years. That’s been thrilling to Ryan [Reynolds] and I. We are developing a sequel, but the truth is that you now have ‘Barbie’ that has obviously left a mark about a character in a fictional world who comes to self-awareness. So, we’re only gonna make ‘Free Guy 2’ if it’s different than the first movie and if it’s different from other movies.”
The idea of fictional characters attaining self-awareness adds a new complexity in filmmaking that makes sure how there will be differences in storytelling giving fresh narratives to the audience, and it will be quite intriguing to see whatFree Guy 2comes up with if the sequel is given a green light.
