Ryan Reynolds shows off his guns while shooting an intense fight scene on the set of his new film Free Guy in Boston

Ryan Reynolds and Jodie Comer kicked off filming for the upcoming action-comedy film Free Guy in Boston, Massachusetts less than a week ago. 

And on Friday, the 42-year-old leading man was spotted on the set once again; this time while shooting an intense fight seen with one of the movie's bad guys.

In the film, Reynolds plays a lonely bank teller who discovers he's actually a player inside a video game in the virtual reality style plot.

The Deadpool actor showed off his superhero skills as he battled with a gun-wielding man dressed in a black leather jacket and military-style camouflage pants. 

At one point Reynolds' character, Guy, appeared to take a punch before he rallied and countered with a couple of shots of his own.  

Eventually he grabbed the gas-masked man by the arm in what looks like a martial arts move.

In the scene, the Vancouver, Canada native was dressed casually in light brown khakis and a form-fitting long-sleeve shirt that showed off his lean and muscular upper body.

Reynolds and the movie crew were also seen practicing the intricate fight scene moves a number of times on the set, in-between takes.

Then, when director Shawn Levy yelled 'action' the actors all hit their marks without anyone getting hurt. 

Earlier in the week Comer, who won a best actress BAFTA for her role as Villanelle in BBC thriller Killing Eve, was seen wielding a gun as she shot a scene with The Hitman's Bodyguard star.

She looked almost unrecognizable wearing a dark wig and skin-tight leather trousers, as she pushed a gun into Reynolds' ribs in a bank robbery sequence.
