And if you\u2019ve seen this movie, you understand that joke. It is 100% Free Guy 2 Albuquerque Boiled Turkey, based on one of seven million improv lines by Taika Waititi!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for how the first film sets up a sequel, Free Guy ends with Millie (Jodie Comer) and Antwan (Taika Waititi) reaching a deal that sees the latter agree not to destroy the original game so long as Millie agrees to drop her lawsuit against him and doesn\u2019t stand in the way of the release of a follow-up game.<\/p>\n<p>Millie and Keys then rework the original Free City into a new game called Free Life \u2013 which uses several elements from their previous hit game Life Itself \u2013 and it becomes a huge success, while Antwan\u2019s Free City follow-up fares far worse.<\/p>\n<p>It seems likely that the second film would be based inside Free Life then \u2013 with Antwan perhaps returning as a villain following the failure of his new game.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll keep this page updated as and when more news emerges.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"&quot;body-h2&quot;\">Free Guy 2 cast<\/h2>\n<p>Any sequel would be sure to see Reynolds take on the lead role once again, while it seems equally likely that Jodie Comer and Joe Keery would be back as Millie and Keys respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Lil Rel Howery as Buddy and Utkarsh Ambudkar as Mouser could also be back, while there\u2019s every chance, Taika Waititi will return as antagonist Antwan.<\/p>\n<p>Reynolds seemed to suggest that the appetite for a sequel was certainly there among the original cast, explaining that, \u201cWe all hope that we get to do this again \u2013 either in this form as a sequel or something else.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Of course, you\u2019d imagine that a sequel would introduce a couple of brand new characters to the fold as well, and as soon as we hear any information on that front we\u2019ll let you know.<\/p>\n<section class=\"&quot;template-article__editor-content\"><strong>Free Guy is currently showing in UK cinemas.
