The trailer for "Free Guy," in which Ryan Reynolds plays a bank teller who begins to realize he's a character in a shoot-em-up video game, dropped today, and it features lots and lots of scenes in downtown Boston (and one under the Zakim in Charlestown) - although oddly it starts with somebody skydiving over what looks like Pittsburgh.
Reynolds walking to work with his security-guard pal:
An unusual round newsstand figures in several scenes - its shape no doubt dictated by the round monument to the Hungarian uprising it masks in Liberty Square:

Don't forget ...

What is it with this guy? Didn't he do enough damage to this part of the city (and his career) with RIPD?

RIPD was a classic. I like almost every movie shot in Boston.

As is often the case -- Its all about scaling things
Some Typical Gestation Times of animals [mostly mammals] by duration [various sources]:
