Free Guy: Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's Cameo Explained
Free Guy is filled with Easter eggs and cameos from many popular franchises and actors, including Dwayne «The Rock» Johnson. Free Guy takes place within a popular open-world video game in which the NPCs, or non-player characters, slowly gain awareness and come to life. As Ryan Reynolds' character, a bank teller NPC known as Guy, interacts with his world, he comes face-to-face with some of Reynolds' real-life friends as well.
In the film, Guy grows tired of always being a bystander in a bank robbery and ordering the same kind of coffee day after day.

Guy unintentionally sparks something and has to try to save his world when the game's creator threatens to replace it. Free Guy's many Easter eggs add another element of fun to the film, even if viewers may miss some of them on their first watch.
