While his smash hit Marvel movie is finally slowing down at the box office after recently becoming the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all-time, Ryan Reynolds has another film that's dominating an unexpected streaming chart. Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard, which is a direct sequel to The Hitman's Bodyguard and sees Reynolds star alongside Samuel L. Jackson, Antonio Banderas, and Caroline Goodall, has taken the #5 spot on Tubi, the ads-included streaming service that doesn't require a subscription to watch. The film follows Michael Bryce (Reynolds) and Darius Kincaid (Jackson) as they continue their friendship from the first film and try to save Darius' wife Sonya (Salma Hayek). Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard also stars Rebecca Front, Gabriella Wright, and Alice McMillan, and the film currently sits at a 26% score from critics but a 79% rating from general audiences on Rotten Tomatoes.

Arthouse sequels are a rare breed, as is British director Joanna Hogg, who brings her distinctive vision to Cannes’ Directors’ Fortnight with The Souvenir Part II. A follow up to 2019’s lauded, semi-autobiographical drama The Souvenir, it once again stars Honor Swinton Byrne as Julie, now mourning the loss of her boyfriend Anthony (Tom Burke), a drug addict who claimed to work for the Foreign Office. His spectre looms large as Julie drifts through film school, eventually making a film about her experiences with Anthony with the help of her peers.

Like Hogg films Unrelated, Archipelago and The Souvenir, this favors long takes and understated dialogue and explores the world of the privileged. Julie only has to ask her mother once, meekly, for £10,000 so she can make her film. Byrne’s real-life mother and Cannes stalwart Tilda Swinton puts in a generous, gently amusing turn as one half of a...

With the release of comedy action sequel Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard now imminent following several delays, both its star Salma Hayek and the man behind the camera, Patrick Hughes, have teased plans for a third movie in the franchise. Though they refuse to reveal who, it sounds like the plan is to add another player into the mix, much like the upcoming follow-up does with Hayek's Sonia Kincaid.

"I hope so. If it happens, I know they're adding one more person," Hayek responded when asked whether a third movie was on the cards. Hughes meanwhile admitted that he already has a pretty good idea of who could join a third outing, but sadly would not reveal who as it would spoil things. "I can't say that because it will reveal the plot," he replied. When pressed on the matter though, Hughes was at least willing to make a joke saying, "John Candy,...

Ryan Reynolds' summer vacation is rudely interrupted by a gun-wielding Salma Hayek in this new clip from upcoming comedy sequel Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard. Suddenly pulled out of his holiday zen and thrown headfirst into the action, the clip is likely indicative of the kinds of explosive sequences and playful banter that audiences can expect from the rest of the highly anticipated movie.

The clip also demonstrates Salma Hayek's solution to a Ryan Reynolds freak-out, a firm slap to the face, something which the latter has discussed before. "In Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard, I'm slapped in the face twice by Salma and once by Samuel L. Jackson," Reynolds said. "For the record, it was Salma who didn't pull the punches. Not even once. I can still feel the sharp sting of her tiny hand working its way into my soft Hollywood cheekbones. May God have mercy on her soul."

Released in 2017, the...

"Let's go do what we do and blow some things up!" Lionsgate + Millennium have released one final kooky "Lullaby" trailer for The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard (otherwise known as Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard without the "the"), another action movie sequel arriving this summer. We've posted two other fun trailers before this one. This crazy 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 villain played by Antonio Banderas. Ryan Reynolds & Samuel L. Jackson return, with a huge cast including Salma Hayek, Morgan Freeman, Frank Grillo, Caroline Goodall, Rebecca Front, Gabriella Wright, Alice McMillan, Kristofer Kamiyasu, Tom Hopper, Blake Ritson, and featuring Richard E. Grant. This is the kind of amusing, ridiculous marketing that's actually going to get people back into theaters to watch this - hell yes, Lionsgate. Here's the final "Lullaby" trailer for...

A new trailer for upcoming action-comedy sequel Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard throws us back into a world of explosive shoot-outs and adrenaline-fueled car chases as mismatched duo Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson trade barbs and fight to survive. As the title and new poster suggest, the sequel sees Salma Hayek's Sonia Kincaid given a much bigger role than the previous installment, joining the action-packed fray and turning the bantering duo into a trio.

Picking up four years after the events of the original movie, bodyguard Michael Bryce (Ryan Reynolds) is on a company mandated sabbatical when Sonia Kincaid, the wife of hitman Darius Kincaid whom Bryce shares an uneasy friendship with, rescues him from an assassination attempt to rescue Darius. Still unlicensed and under scrutiny, as well as now being on sabbatical, Bryce is not allowed to use firearms or lethal weapons of any kind and must use...

Lionsgate has released a brand-new trailer and poster for the upcoming film The Hitman’S Wife’S Bodyguard.

Watch Ryan Reynolds, Samuel L. Jackson, Salma Hayek, with Antonio Banderas, and Morgan Freeman, Frank Grillo, Caroline Goodall, Rebecca Front, Gabriella Wright, Alice McMillan, Kristofer Kamiyasu, Tom Hopper, Blake Ritson, with Richard E. Grant in this latest preview.

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). Joining in...

"Now let's go do what we do - and blow some things up!" Lionsgate + Millennium Media have debuted the full-length official trailer for the summer's The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard (also known as Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard without the "the"), a sequel to that action movie a few years ago. The wacky odd couple is still completing missions, but this time they get entangled with Sonia Kincaid, played by Salma Hayek. 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 villain played by Antonio Banderas. Ryan Reynolds & Samuel L. Jackson return, with a kick ass cast including Morgan Freeman, Frank Grillo, Caroline Goodall, Rebecca Front, Gabriella Wright, Alice McMillan, Kristofer Kamiyasu, Tom Hopper, Blake Ritson, and featuring Richard E. Grant. This looks like fun, but only because it's formulaic action movie fun; even the jokes are obvious.

It’s arguable if 2017’s successful “The Hitman’s Bodyguard” film truly deserves its own sequel, even if it made money, but that said, the cast of Ryan Reynolds, Samuel L. Jackson, and Salma Hayek, in an action-comedy sound not so bad, right? Plus, there’s the supporting cast, Antonio Banderas, Morgan Freeman, Frank Grillo, Caroline Goodall, Rebecca Front, Gabriella Wright, Alice McMillan, Kristofer Kamiyasu, Tom Hopper, Blake Ritson, with Richard E.

From the director of 2017’S The Hitman’S Bodyguard,...

Ryan Reynolds is trying really hard not to kill anyone in the first trailer for “The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard.” In fact, he’s on a doctor-mandated psychological “sabbatical” from doing any work as a gun for hire.

That, of course, doesn’t stop him from getting into obscene fire fights and running for his life, this time while trying to protect not just Samuel L. Jackson’s hitman Darius Kincaid, but also Kincaid’s wife: the infamous, international con artist Sonia Kincaid, played by Salma Hayek.

“I promised my therapist no bodyguard. So that means no guns, no killing and no blood,” Reynolds says in the trailer as he attempts to subdue a bad guy.

“Are you using pepper spray?” Jackson responds before erupting into a laughing fit.

Patrick Hughes is returning to direct the sequel to 2017’s “The Hitman’s Bodyguard,” as is screenwriter Tom O’Connor, who wrote the story...

The first trailer for Lionsgate's action-comedy sequel Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard is now online, and reintroduces audiences to Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson's delightful odd couple. Teasing all the chases sequences, shoot-outs and Reynolds zingers you could want, Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard looks to be a fan-pleasing continuation of the 2017 hit.

The first Hitman's Bodyguard follows Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds as the world's top protection agent, Michael Bryce, whose career has taken a steep decline following a bungled mission. Reynolds' relentless bodyguard and Jackson's manipulative assassin, Darius Kincaid, have been on the opposite end of the bullet for years and butt heads as they are thrown together for a wildly outrageous 24 hours.

Set four years after the events of the original, Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard puts the spotlight back onto the world's most lethal odd couple - bodyguard Michael Bryce and hitman Darius Kincaid, played once again by Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L.

Did we need a sequel? No! But they made one anyway! So have fun. The wacky odd couple is still completing missions, but this time they get entangled with Sonia Kincaid, played by Salma Hayek. 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 villain played by Antonio Banderas.
