[Editor’s Note: This video contains spoilers for Free Guy.]
Free Guy is a movie that’s a lot of fun, and one of the ways it knows how to be fun is by understanding how video games function these days. [Old man voice] Back in my day, a video game was a video game. You played Mario and that was it. But today, franchises can cross over with each other, and a game like Fortnite can have huge events where they bring in other IP for players to access. Fortnite is one of the inspirations for Free Guy’s world of “Free City” and in the film’s climax where Guy (Ryan Reynolds) has to fight a bigger, dumber version of himself, he gets to break out some fun bits of geek iconography including Captain America’s shield, which leads to a great cameo from Chris Evans.
In an exclusive interview with Free Guy director Shawn Levy, Collider's Steve Weintraub asked how they managed to get Evans along with other fun references to Marvel and Star Wars properties such as a Hulk fist and a lightsaber:
"Literally he was filming Defending Jacob in Boston. We had come up with this idea once Disney bought Fox. Ryan and I were like, 'Well, how can we work this to our benefit?' And we're like, oh, what if we tried to put something from Marvel or Lucasfilm in the movie? So we wrote a letter to Bob Iger, Kevin Feige, and Kathleen Kennedy. And the letter basically was like, 'Dear sirs and madam, would you possibly consider giving us permission to use cap’s shield or Hulk’s fist or a lightsaber? Sincerely yours, Ryan Reynolds and Shawn Levy.' To our astonishment. They came back and said yes. And we said 'Which one?' and they said all of them. So once that happened, Ryan's like, wait a second. Chris Evans is in Boston. He calls Chris and says, 'If we have a camera set up and waiting for you, can you come by for 10 minutes just to pay off a joke?' And Chris was like, sure. And that's how we did that. He came by, we had a camera waiting in a restaurant and we shot that joke."
