Ryan Reynolds: Free Guy Waits For Release
If it weren’t so sad, it’d be funny. But after almost a year of delays, coming by four different schedule changes, actor Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool) says he’s “never been so sure” about the film’s new August 13 due date.
Free Guy Release
Beyond the shift of Cruella and Black Widow to same-day digital and cinematic releases and Luca to a Disney+ exclusive (in the US), Free Guy is among several other films to find a different due date in 2021 or 2022.

Ryan Reynolds is still in good spirits about the release of his forthcoming film — well, sort of.
On Tuesday, the 44-year-old actor reacted to the latest premiere date change for his upcoming movie, Free Guy, with a hilarious video message.
“Hey guys! Awesome news,” Reynolds quips sarcastically in the clip before he announces that the upcoming film has a new release date.
“I know we’ve had a couple of hiccups, but this time it’s a hundred percent locked in. I’ve never been so sure of anything in my life as long as I live.”
100% Locked In
The clip must be seen to be truly appreciated:

This may not be Reynolds‘ most comedic social post of 2021.
He recently watched Green Lantern for the first time in over a decade.
And below is just one of the amazing tweets.

Come to think of it, perhaps while I am waiting for Free Guy (and the rest of Disney’s summer slate), I can finally sit down to watch Green Lantern, too.
Hopefully, it’s not another “If it weren’t so sad, it’d be funny” situation.
See you in August, kids.
