Channing Tatum joins Ryan Reynolds in Free Guy

June 17, 2019 by Gary Collinson

It looks like we can add another name to the cast of the upcoming Ryan Reynolds-headlined action comedy Free Guy, with The Daily Mail reporting that Channing Tatum has been spotted on set shooting scenes for the movie.

Free Guy is being directed by Shaun Levy (Night at the Museum) and sees Reynolds playing a lonely bank teller who discovers that he’s actually an NPC, a background character in a video game. Teaming up with an avatar (Killing Eve’s Jodie Comer), he sets out to prevent the makers of the game from shutting it down and destroying his world.

Given that Tatum hasn’t officially been announced as part of the cast, it may be safe to assume that he’ll be playing a minor role or simply making a cameo of some kind.

Free Guy is set for release on July 3rd, 2020 and features a cast that also includes Lil Rel Howery (Get Out), Taika Waititi (Avengers: Endgame), Joe Keery (Stranger Things), and Utkarsh Ambudkar (Mulan).
