Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds has a natural gift for comedy, we all know that by now and it's on full display via his upcoming film Free Guy. The action-comedy flick follows the story of a bank teller named Guy who experiences a string of unfortunate events and bad luck in his life. Unbeknownst to him, he's actually living in a video game. How cool is that?!

The 20th Century Studios released the second official trailer for the film which was originally scheduled to drop last July. Plans changed following the COVID-19 pandemic but the studio is now eyeing to release the film, which also stars Jodie Comer, Joe Keery, Lil Rel Howery, and Taika Waititi later this year. In the brand new trailer, Guy finally discovers his existence and that he's actually a non-playable character in an open-world video game set in Free City. It's now up to him to save his world and become the hero of his own story.

Check out the full synopsis for Free Guy below:

In Twentieth Century Studios' epic adventure-comedy "Free Guy," a bank teller who discovers he is actually a background player in an open-world video game, decides to become the hero of his own story…one he rewrites himself. Now in a world where there are no limits, he is determined to be the guy who saves his world his way…before it is too late.

If there's one thing I totally admire about Ryan, it's that he has shown us time and time again that the "consequences" of playing an iconic superhero character on the big screen don't faze him. It's been a long-standing belief that actors who take part in comic book films often couldn't escape the superhero bubble and are forever stereotyped in the roles they play which end up affecting their careers in the long run but the former DC turned Marvel star continues to prove the argument wrong simply because he's such a versatile actor capable of playing any role given to him.

Free Guy is scheduled for release this December.
