Donald Glover Breathes New Life into Mr. & Mrs. Smith Series Reboot

Donald Glover, famous for his parts in Community and Atlanta, is ready to bring back the thrilling world of secret spies, hidden marriage issues, and intense action in his new project – a TV version of the 2005 movie, Mr. & Mrs. Smith.

Premiering this November on Prime Video, the series reboot had its first glimpses unveiled recently during Prime Day celebrations, enticing viewers with a mixture of familiar intrigue and fresh faces.

The reboot’s narrative centers around John and Jane Smith, a seemingly average married couple grappling with the tumultuous and adventurous double life they lead as skilled assassins – roles that Glover himself and PEN15 star Maya Erskine have enthusiastically assumed. Their interactions in the sneak peeks hint at an engaging exploration of their unique marital dynamic amidst chaotic, high-octane scenarios.

Glover’s counterpart in this thrilling ride was initially slated to be Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny star Phoebe Waller-Bridge. However, after Waller-Bridge bowed out of the project due to creative differences, Maya Erskine was tapped to step into the shoes of Mrs. Smith. Known for her riveting performance in Hulu’s comedy series PEN15, Erskine brings her own distinct flair to this explosive couple’s story.

The ensemble also includes esteemed actor Wagner Moura of Puss in Boots: The Last Wish fame and Golden Globe nominee Parker Posey, who add their unique talents to this promising venture. With the original film’s compelling blend of humor, romance, and action reaping a robust $487.3 million worldwide despite a mixed critical response, the stakes are high for this modern reinterpretation.

Paving the Path for Mr. & Mrs. Smith’s Revival

Glover co-created the series alongside Francesca Sloane. He brings a rich creative history to the table. Glover boasts a track record laden with acclaim. His impressive accolades include dual victories at both the Golden Globes and the Emmy Awards, all credited to his exceptional work on the series Atlanta.

The unanticipated cameo by Glover in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse came as a delightful surprise to enthusiasts, serving as a testament to his enduring impact on Marvel’s film realm. It builds upon his previous engagement with the franchise, exemplified by his portrayal in Spider-Man: Homecoming.

Further stirring the excitement pot, Glover has confirmed his return as Troy Barnes in the upcoming Community film. Regrettably, the current strike by the Writers Guild of America has necessitated a halt in the film’s production, according to Glover’s co-star, Joel McHale.

This unforeseen interruption leaves fans in a state of anticipation, eagerly awaiting updates about the film’s ultimate release date.

Glover’s Mr. & Mrs. Smith reboot is shaping up to be a tantalizing fusion of old and new, merging the beloved original’s foundational narrative with fresh talent and perspectives. With its first look already generating buzz, the series stands as a testament to Glover’s consistent ability to intrigue audiences and promises a riveting ride when it premieres this fall on Prime Video.
