Jodie Comer has joined the cast of Free Guy an action comedy about video games.
The Killing Eve star is about to make her Hollywood debut alongside Ryan Reynolds. Lil Rel (Get Out) and Joe Keery (Stranger Things) have also signed on in supporting roles.
Free Guy centers on a background character (Reynolds) who suddenly realizes he’s living in a video game. After he discovers that the makers of the game may be shutting down his world, with the help of an avatar, he tries to keep the world alive.
Comer will play the avatar, Molotov Girl. In the real world, she is the programmer who created the game but then it was stolen from her. Rel will play another background character and Reynolds’ best friend and Keery will play a programmer who may or may not have a secret agenda.
Shawn Levy will be directing from a script penned by Matt Lieberman. Filming is secluded to begin in April.
