Ryan Reynolds cast doubt on the long-hoped for “Free Guy” sequel during an appearance in the U.K. on Saturday evening. Headlining the four-day Just For Laughs comedy festival at the O2 Arena in Lon…
“There is the potential to do a sequel to ‘Free Guy,’ which would be fun,” Reynolds replied. “I would love it. But also like, does everything fucking have to be a sequel? I don’t know. Sometimes it’s OK to just do a movie and have it kick ass and then everyone go home.”
“So you know, there’s a bit of a push and pull there, resisting the urge to just immediately say, ‘Ohh, doing a sequel will validate the first one,’” Reynolds continued. “No, the first movie validates the first one and then you can leave it at that. So I don’t know, we’re still talking about it.” During the wide-ranging talk, which covered Reynolds’ beginnings as a child actor up as well as his investment in, his production company Maximum Effort and even his fourth child, whom he recently welcomed alongside wife Blake Lively, Reynolds’ role in the widely-panned 2011 film “Green Lantern” inevitably came up. The movie, which also starred Lively, Tim Robbins and Taika Waititi, suffered from “Too much time, too much money,” Reynolds said.
“There was just too many people spending too much money and when there was a problem rather than say, ‘Okay, let’s stop spending on special effects and let’s think about character. How do we replace this big spectacle thing – that isn’t working at all – with something that’s character based?’ and that just never – the thinking was never there to do that,” he explained. “And to their credit, it’s a very old school way of looking at things. It’s just ‘Let’s just keep spending our way through this.
During the Q&A portion of the fireside chat, Reynolds was also trolled by an audience member who said: “So singing, dancing, superhero movies, action, drama…. Hugh Jackson is just one of the greatest performers in cinematic history and I was wondering what he’s like to work with.”
