Say hello to the new hit man couple.
Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Donald Glover will star in a remake of “Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” the 2005 film starring Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.
The project with New Regency and Amazon Studios in collaboration with writer Francesca Sloane will hit Amazon Prime Video in 2022, according to Glover.
The project was announced on Instagram – literally in a pandemic way. Waller-Bridge, 35, wore pajamas to film herself as she posed in a doorway – the same leg lift that Jolie, 45, did for the movie’s poster and promotional materials. Glover, 37, filmed a bit of herself flossing – the dance, not the dental routine – to celebrate.
The videos, which originated in Glover’s Instagram Stories, were also reposted by Jennifer Salke, the head of Amazon Studios.
Mr. + Mrs. Smith. Donald Glover x Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Made in collaboration with Francesca Sloane. New Regency + Amazon Studios, ”wrote Glover. “Amazon Prime Video 2022.”
This is the second time that Glover, whose musical stage name is Childish Gambino, and Waller-Bridge have starred in a movie together. The duo previously starred in 2018’s ‘Solo: A Star Wars Story’, with Glover as a young Lando Calrissian and Waller-Bridge as the voice of L3-37.
“Mr. and Mrs. Smith” starring Jolie and Pitt, who saw the couple who met and fell in love with the set as secret hitmen from competing agencies who were unwittingly out to get each other, was a box office hit that made nearly $ 500 million worldwide. Pitt and Jolie filed for divorce in 2016.
