Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard (2021)
The world’s most lethal odd couple – bodyguard Michael Bryce (Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds) and hitman Darius Kincaid (Oscar nominee 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 (Oscar nominee 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, powerful madman (Oscar nominee Antonio Banderas). Joining in the fun and deadly mayhem is Oscar winner Morgan Freeman as… well, you’ll have to see.
Hayek was nominated for a People’s Choice Award as Favourite Female Movie Star for the action-comedy, which topped the US box office on its release and was the 52nd biggest film of 2021 globally.
