Donald Glover, Phoebe Waller-Bridge to star in Mr and Mrs Smith remake

The 2005 hit movie that saw Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie fall in love is being remade, and the two lead stars have just been announced.

Say hello to the new assassin couple.

Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Donald Glover are set to star in a remake of Mr and Mrs Smith, the 2005 movie starring Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.

The project with New Regency and Amazon Studios with collaboration from writer Francesca Sloane will hit Amazon Prime Video in 2022, according to Glover.

The project was announced on Instagram — in pandemic fashion, quite literally. Waller-Bridge, 35, wore pyjamas to film herself striking a pose in a doorway — the same leg lift Jolie, 45, did for the film’s movie poster and promotional materials. Glover, 37, filmed a bit of himself flossing — the dance, not the dental routine — to celebrate.

The videos, which originated in Glover’s Instagram Stories, were also reposted by Jennifer Salke, the head of Amazon Studios.

“Mr + Mrs Smith. Donald Glover x Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Co-created with Francesca Sloane. New Regency + Amazon Studios,” Glover wrote. “Amazon Prime Video 2022.”

This marks the second time Glover, whose musical stage name is Childish Gambino, and Waller-Bridge will star in a film together. The duo previously co-starred in 2018’s Solo: A Star Wars Story, with Glover as a young Lando Calrissian and Waller-Bridge as the voice of droid L3-37.

Mr and Mrs Smith starred Jolie and Pitt as secret assassins from competing agencies unknowingly out to get one another. It was a box office smash which made nearly $500 million worldwide but was perhaps most famous for the pair meeting and falling in love on set. Pitt and Jolie filed for divorce in 2016.
