As Guy faces off against Dude he uses some powers the game gives him including summoning a Hulk Fist and a Luke Skywalker lightsaber. The entire final fight is broadcast live around the world, so there’s a few cuts of people reacting to Guy’s beatdown while watching it on their phones - which leads to an amusing Marvel Easter egg. Towards the end of the film Guy is in a boss battle with his alter-ego, a roided-out dude literally named Dude. More on that appearance, and how “Free Guy” star Ryan Reynolds felt about the cameo here. One of these reactions comes from late “Jeopardy!” host Alex Trebek, who asks a Guy-themed question to three mock contestants.

It’s a subtle nod to Schwartz’ old gig (After running content at IGN for nearly six years, Schwartz moved to a gig managing editorial work at Netflix’s Geeked) at the publication.Ībout a quarter of the way through “Free Guy” there’s a montage speeds up time to show the world reacting to Guy’s adventures in the game. If you keep a close eye on the background of the Soonami headquarters set where all the real-world game development scenes happen, there’s multiple IGN awards stashed throughout the office.

Alex Trebek’s ‘Free Guy’ Cameo Is Giving Everyone the Feels, Especially Ryan Reynoldsįormer IGN editor in chief Terri Schwartz: Schwartz plays a video game reporter who isn’t named - or even credited on the “Free Guy” IMDB page yet - who interviews Keys and his game development partner Millie (Jodie Comer) about the game they worked on before “Free City.” Schwartz also shows up at the end of the film in another video reporting about changes in the game.
