Joe Keery on Free Guy and His Relationship with Social Media

With director Shawn Levy and Ryan Reynolds’ Free Guy now playing in theaters, I recently spoke to Joe Keery about making the awesome action comedy. During the interview, Keery talked about what it was like watching the film for the first time, what might surprise people to learn about the making of the film, his relationship with social media, and why he loved working with Shawn Levy on both Free Guy and Stranger Things. As most of you know, Free Guy stars Ryan Reynolds as a bank teller named Guy who exists inside an open-world video game as an NPC (non-player character). In the gaming world, especially shooting games, NPCs are often cannon fodder and target practice. When a mysterious character named Molotovgirl (Jodie Comer) catches his eye, his simple existence is upended as he starts to pursue the woman of his dreams. Eventually, he’ll be forced to become the hero of his own story in order to save his world and the people in it. Free Guy also stars Taika Waititi, Lil Rel Howery, Channing Tatum,
