The world’s most lethal odd couple – bodyguard Michael Bryce (Ryan Reynolds) and hitman Darius Kincaid (Samuel L. Jackson) – are back on another life-threatening mission. Still unlicensed and under scrutiny, Bryce is forced into action by Darius’s even more volatile wife, the infamous international con artist Sonia Kincaid (Salma Hayek). As Bryce is driven over the edge by his two most dangerous protectees, the trio get in over their heads in a global plot and soon find that they are all that stand between Europe and a vengeful and powerful madman (Antonio Banderas).

The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard is directed by Patrick Hughes. It is written by Tom O’Connor and Phillip Murphy & Brandon Murphy from a story by Tom O’Connor and characters created by Tom O’Connor. It is produced by Matthew O’Toole, Les Weldon, Yariv Lerner and also stars Morgan Freeman, Frank Grillo, Caroline Goodall, Rebecca Front, Gabriella Wright, Alice McMillan, Kristofer Kamiyasu, Tom Hopper, Blake Ritson, with Richard E. Grant.

Lionsgate will release the film in theaters on June 16, 2021.
