Ninja, Jacksepticeye, and more to co-star in blockbuster Hollywood movie Red Bull \/ ArtsHubRyan Reynolds-led comedy action Free Guy is set to tap into the online gaming world for its co-stars, with confirmation Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins, Lannan \u2018LazarBeam\u2019 Eacott, and Se\u00e1n \u2018Jacksepticeye\u2019 McLoughlin will be appearing in the upcoming Hollywood film. Stranger Things director Shawn Levy\u2019s recently announced comedic feature is set around the premise of a bank teller (Reynolds) at a bank that\u2019s always being robbed, before realizing that he\u2019s a nonplayable character in the virtual world of a video game. Reynolds and Taika Waititi are confirmed to have starring roles in the video game aspects of the story, the flick\u2019s New York Comic Con panel revealed, while Joe Keery, Utkarsh Ambudkar, and Jodie Comer will be playing dual roles in the real world and as player characters . The gaming world also has its own representatives ready to debut on the silver screen \u2014 namely Mixer superstar Ninja, and YouTube content creators Jacksepticeye and LazarBeam. IGN has also suggested Twitch star Imane \u2018Pokimane\u2019 Anys could also be included among the cast. While Blevins and Eacott are confirmed to appear as fictional versions of themselves in the production, Reynolds took to Twitter to joke that McLoughlin was \u201cconvincing\u201d as arcade character Q*Bert, a statement which made its way to the movie\u2019s Wikipedia listing. \u201cI went full method and sucked on an exhaust pipe for nine weeks to really nail the look,\u201d the popular Irish gaming star replied. The trio of gaming stars took to social media to express their excitement about their involvement after the official announcement, and all thanked the Hollywood producers for the chance to appear on the big screen when the film releases in 2020. \u201cI can finally say that I will have a cameo in Ryan Reynolds\u2019 new movie. You have no idea how excited I am!!\u201d McLoughlin said, while LazarBeam shared a similar sentiment. \u201cI\u2019m appearing in the movie \u2018Free Guy\u2019 alongside Ryan Reynolds, Jacksepticeye, and Ninja. I was doing construction five years ago lmao, so f*cking keen,\u201d the Australian star said. Im appearing in the movie ‘FREE GUY’ alongside Ryan Reynolds,@Jack_Septic_Eye and @Ninja I was doing construction 5 years ago lmao so fucking keen pic.twitter.com\/LaZPPhkxtK \u2014 Lannan (@LazarBeamYT) October 3, 2019 Fans got a taste of what the comedy in Levy\u2019s next release would be like in a \u2018Meet the Cast\u2019 promo with Reynolds, Waititi, Keery, and Comer. Comer and Keery commented on their excitement to be involved in the movie, before Reynolds and Waititi acted like they were meeting each other for the very first time, despite both starring in the internationally panned box office disaster Green Lantern. \u201cI\u2019ve been a fan of his for a long time and it\u2019s super cool to finally meet him,\u201d Reynolds said before they were called out by their co-stars, who reminded them they had worked together in 2011 for the DC superhero movie. Both denied the \u2018allegations\u2019. \u201cThis is the first time we\u2019ve met,\u201d Waititi said. \u201cThat\u2019s the cool thing about the industry, it brings people together. We\u2019ve been mutual admirers of each other, from afar, and now to finally have the chance to work together for the first time, ever, in both of our lives, I\u2019m super stoked.\u201d Funnily enough, the announcement comes just a week after Ninja took aim at fellow streamer Jack \u2018CouRageJD\u2018 Dunlop for his movie opinions. Now it seems Hollywood has sided with the Mixer star\u2019s views, considering he\u2019s shot a cameo and Dunlop is nowhere to be seen. Free Guy will be released by Disney and 20th Century Fox on July 3, 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
