“This is the kind of summer action film that delivers even more comedy and more thrilling action than the first film – and it’s perfect for fans new to the franchise as well,” Ron Schwartz, Lionsgate’s President of Worldwide Distribution, said in a statement. “The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard is what summer moviegoing is all about – great, crowd-pleasing entertainment.”

The sequel will see the returns of Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool 2), Samuel L. Jackson (Spider-Man: Far From Home), Salma Hayek (Drunk Parents) and Richard E. Grant (Star Wars: Rise of the Skywalker) alongside series newcomers Academy Award-winning actor Morgan Freeman (Million Dollar Baby), Antonio Banderas (The Mask of Zorro), Frank Grillo (The Purge) and Tom Hopper (The Umbrella Academy).

The highly-anticipated follow-up sees Bryce – still unlicensed and under scrutiny – forced into action by Darius and his wife, the infamous international con artist Sonia. 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 the fun and deadly mayhem is Morgan Freeman as … well, you’ll have to see.
