Shawn Levy explains why they're not rushing to make FreeGuy2.
Director Shawn Levy has a lot on his plate right now as he is currently spearheading the return of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine in Deadpool 3, is set to direct episodes of the fifth and final season of Stranger Things, and is even in talks for his own Star Wars film. On top of all of that is also the possibility of a sequel to 2021's Free Guy starring Ryan Reynolds.
It's still in development. I don't know if it's in the cards, but it is very much still in development. It's something that Disney and Fox want badly. I really try to not make sequels that don't deserve to be. And it's why I didn't move forward with the Real Steel sequel because I didn't feel we had a second movie that could match or top the first. I'm holding Free Guy to that same standard. We are still hearing ideas, developing ideas, expounding on ideas.
Sequels are really hard to make great. It's why we all look to a ['Terminator 2'] or an 'Empire Strikes Back' as high watermarks and frankly as unicorns. It's really, really hard. And again, I made three 'Night at the Museums.' One reason that I cast each one of them at such a stratospheric level, with comedic stars and comedic geniuses, is I wanted to make sure that they could be unique. But it's a really tough balance.
What We Know About Free Guy Sequel This is in line with what Levy and Reynolds told Weintraub when they previously spoke on the topic of Free Guy 2 back in February 2022. “For us, it's mostly just about getting the story is right, the script is right before you go to camera because that's everything. We both know that it’s a slippery slope heading into physical production before something's truly ready," said Levy. "We loved Free Guy.
