Netflix’s upcoming spy comedy starring Kevin Hart and Henry Cavill has added three new actors, including stars from Succession and Harry Potter.
The new original film was announced earlier this year and will be directed by McG. The filmmaker previously helmed well-known action and comedy films like Charlie’s Angels, Terminator: Salvation, This Means War, The Babysitter, and more.
As reported by Variety, Justine Lupe, Jason Isaacs, and Aja Naomi King have joined the film, though details about their characters remain under wraps. Isaacs previously played Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter film franchise, and Lupe played Willa Ferreyra in HBO’s Succession. The film has yet to be titled officially, but fans can get an idea of what its story will entail after the release of its logline.
“When two rival spies cross paths in a Lamaze class and their wives become fast friends, their double lives collide in unexpectedly hilarious and dangerous ways, forcing the two men to reluctantly become confidantes and partners on the road to fatherhood,” reads the film’s logline.
