Warning: This article contains cameo spoilers for Free Guy.
Disney’s romantic action-comedy Free Guy features a great ensemble cast led by talented actors audiences will certainly recognize from previous roles. Directed by Stranger Things producer Shawn Levy, Free Guy is currently certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes after getting overwhelmingly positive reviews. It’s flying under the radar but could prove to be one of the most unexpected and pleasant surprises of the year.
It follows the story of Guy, an ordinary Joe living in Free City. Guy has a mundane life as a bank teller, always getting the same exact coffee order, always wearing the same exact clothes, always meeting his best friend in the same spot, and never deviating from his routine. But when he sees the girl of his dreams, it startles him out of his rut and he starts to change things up. Soon, Guy learns that he’s just an NPC in Free City 2, a Grand Theft Auto-style video game that’s about to be destroyed and it’s up to him to save himself and the residents of Free City.
The meeting of the real world and an artificial, computer-generated one is a premise that’s been used more than once in film. But Free Guy arguably executes it better than almost any other movie thanks to its blend of surprising heart and genuine laughs. Credit goes to its talented ensemble for striking that balance. Here’s a guide to the cast and characters of Free Guy and what they’ve been in before.
Ryan Reynolds as Guy
Ryan Reynolds centers the film as Guy, the film’s plucky protagonist. Guy is always ready with a helping hand and his catchphrase: “Don’t just have a good day–have a great day!” But deep inside, it nags him that he hasn’t found someone to love yet and when he randomly encounters Molotov Girl, everything changes for him. Reynolds, of course, is currently one of Hollywood’s biggest actors, best known for playing the titular character in the Deadpool franchise and bodyguard Michael Bryce in The Hitman’s Bodyguard franchise. He can also be seen in Life, Mississippi Grind, romcoms Definitely, Maybe and The Proposal, and the ill-fated Green Lantern. He’s also done some high-profile voice roles, voicing Pikachu in Detective Pikachu and Guy in The Croods movies. After Free Guy, he’ll next be seen starring in Netflix’s Red Notice opposite Dwayne Johnson and Gal Gadot.
Jodie Comer as Molotov Girl/Millie
Jodie Comer pulls double duty in this movie, playing both Molotov Girl in the game and computer programmer Millie in the real world. She’s infiltrated the game to gather dirt on Antwan, the CEO of Free City’s publisher, Soonami but when she meets Guy, things get even more complicated. Free Guy is Comer’s first major movie role, but she’s gathered a loyal fanbase for her impressive work on TV, including playing Villanelle on the acclaimed series Killing Eve and Elizabeth of York in The White Princess. She briefly played Rey’s mother in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, and she’ll next be seen in Ridley Scott’s historical drama The Last Duel with Ben Affleck and Matt Damon.
Joe Keery as Keys
Joe Keery rounds out the trio of main characters as Walter “Keys” McKeys, a brilliant game developer and Millie’s former business partner who is currently working for Soonami. When Antwan threatens to shut down the game, it’s up to Keys and Millie to figure out how to stop it from the inside. Audiences will surely recognize Keery (and his glorious head of hair) from his role as bully-turned-fan-favorite Steve Harrington on Stranger Things. Kerry has also had roles in films Spree, Slice, After Everything, and Molly’s Game. He’ll next be seen in Stranger Things season 4, which is set to release sometime in 2022.
