Want a dramatic first look at Ryan Reynolds and Jodie Comer's new action movie Free Guy? Well then, look no further.

The action comedy film stars Reynolds as a bank teller who discovers that he is a background character in an open world video game called Free City that will soon go offline.

With the help of an avatar known as Molotov Girl (played by Comer), Reynolds' character tries to prevent the makers of the game from shutting down his world – although, in this first-look picture, we're not entirely sure how much help Molotov Girl is offering...

As well as playing the avatar Molotov Girl, Comer also plays the character in the real world, who's described as a "mousy programmer" who created the game only to have it stolen from her (via The Hollywood Reporter).

Joining the pair in the film are Thor: Ragnorak director Taika Waititi, Lil Rel Howery (Bird Box, Get Out) and Joe Keery (Steve from Stranger Things), while Stranger Things director Shawn Levy takes on directing duties for this project too.

It comes after a pretty great few months for new co-stars Comer and Reynolds, with Jodie Comer recently scooping her first ever BAFTA by picking up the Best Actress award for her role as Villanelle in Killing Eve.

Meanwhile Reynolds is enjoying success with his recent move Pokémon: Detective Pikachu, while he and his wife Blake Lively recently confirmed that they're expecting their third child too.

Free Guy is currently filming in the US, and is due for release in July 2020.
