"We're Disney now, so we gotta up our merchandising game..."
Let's be clear - teasers for trailers are the absolute worst, but this one is actually worth your time for several reasons.
Firstly, Ryan Reynolds is able to spin gold out of sh*t in the most unlikely of places - in this case, one of those dry "meet the cast" videos that get sent out with every movie. Second, there's an acknowledgement of Disney's swallowing whole of Fox and how the game is different under them, and that game is moving merch. Merchandising the blue shirt / tie combo he's wearing? Sure, why not.
Third, it's fun to see Jodie Comer and Joe Keery of 'Killing Eve' and 'Stranger Things' seated next to each other, with Ryan Reynolds and Lil Rey Howery from 'Get Out' on the other side of them. It's fun - just like Ryan Reynolds' intense, wide-eyed, panicked sales pitch for his shirt and tie.
Good stuff all round, good clean corporate fun for all the family. Check it out below and the full trailer for 'Free Guy' lands tomorrow.
