Ryan Reynolds, Shawn Levy Team for Action Comedy FREE GUY

"Deadpool" star Ryan Reynolds and Night at the Museum" helmer Shawn Levy are teaming up for the sci-fi action comedy "Free Guy". The film will focus on a bank teller (Reynolds) who realizes that he's a background character in a violent open world video game. With the help of an avatar, he tries to prevent the makers of the game from shutting down his world.

Matt Lieberman ("Christmas Chronicles") penned the script, which was acquired as a spec script in 2016 by 20th Century Fox. Reynolds and Levy are also set to produce alongside George Dewey, Greg Berlanti, Adam Kolbrenner and Sarah Schechter.

Reynolds will also star in Michael Bay's Netflix action film "Underground", and voice the protagonist of Legendary's "Pokemon: Detective Pikachu".
