The first trailer for “My Spy: The Eternal City” has just been released, sparking excitement among fans of the original film. This highly anticipated sequel to the 2020 hit “My Spy” is set to premiere on Amazon Prime Video this July. The film stars Dave Bautista and Chloe Coleman, who reprise their roles in this new adventure.
“My Spy: The Eternal City” promises to deliver a blend of action and comedy, much like its predecessor. The official synopsis reveals that the story follows Sophie, played by Coleman, whose high school choir is selected for an Italian tour. The tour culminates in a performance for the Pope in Vatican City. JJ, portrayed by Bautista, sees this as a perfect opportunity to bond with his new stepdaughter and volunteers to chaperone the group. Their journey takes them through the picturesque canals of Venice, the historic bridges of Florence, and the iconic sites of Rome. However, their trip takes a dangerous turn when they become unwitting pawns in a terrorist plot that threatens global security.
The film boasts an impressive cast alongside Bautista and Coleman. Kristen Schaal, Flula Borg, Craig Robinson, Billy Barratt, Taeho K, Anna Faris, and Ken Jeong all join the ensemble, adding to the film’s star power. Directed by Peter Segal, who also helmed the first film, “My Spy: The Eternal City” is expected to bring the same charm and humor that made the original a fan favorite. Segal, known for his work on “Tommy Boy,” “50 First Dates,” and “Get Smart,” co-wrote the screenplay with Erich Hoeber and Jon Hoeber. The trio also serves as producers, alongside Bautista, Chris Bender, Jake Weiner, Robert Simonds, Gigi Pritzker, and Jonathan Meisner.
The original “My Spy” faced several delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Initially slated for a theatrical release in April 2020, the film was eventually acquired by Amazon Studios and released in limited locations and drive-in theaters in June 2020. It also became available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video, where it found a wider audience.
“My Spy: The Eternal City” is set to begin streaming globally on Prime Video on July 18, 2024. Fans of the original film and newcomers alike can look forward to a thrilling and heartwarming adventure.
