Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson's THE HITMAN'S BODYGUARD 2 Gets a Release Date
Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson’s action-comedy The Hitman’s Bodyguard ended up being a big hit with audiences. The premise was simple, and it tells a story that we’ve seen a handful of times before, but the main draw for people was seeing Reynolds and Jackson together in a movie.
Lionsgate and Millennium Films ended up greenlighting a sequel to the film titled The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard, and they’ve announced that it will be released on August 28th, 2020.
Reynolds, Jackson, and Salma Hayek are reprising their starring roles from the 2017 film, and Patrick Hughes returns to direct. The sequel also features Antonio Banderas, Morgan Freeman, Frank Grillo, and Richard E. Grant, who once again plays Seifert.
The story for the sequel sees bodyguard Michael Bryce's (Reynolds) wanting “to swear off violence derailed when hitman Kincaid (Jackson) and his wife Sonia (Hayek) entangle him in their mission to save Europe from a vengeful zealot (Banderas).”
