The past year has brought some significant changes within the world of film, as studios try to plan for their tentpole releases amid the ever-evolving nature of the COVID-19 pandemic. On Tuesday, Disney announced its latest efforts to accommodate to the new normal of the pandemic, delaying and rearranging the release dates for a number of its 2021 movies. Among these is Free Guy, the all-star action-comedy led by Ryan Reynolds, which will now open on August 13th. This is just one of several release dates the film has had thus far, something that Reynolds recently took to Twitter to poke fun at. In a short video announcing the new release date, Reynolds can be seen joking that he’s “never been so sure of anything” as he is of Free Guy’s new release date, before smash-cutting to a completely different recording of him announcing the release date, complete with some delightfully-bad ADR.
