The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard Gets New Foul-Mouthed, Action-Packed Trailer

The action-comedy movie is due to hit theaters on June 16.

Comments

Actor Ryan Reynolds has shared a decidedly NSFW new trailer for The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard, the upcoming sequel to the 2017 action-comedy The Hitman's Bodyguard. Per the title, the new movie--which is hitting theaters on June 16--stars Reynolds, Samuel L. Jackson, and Salma Hayek.

The comedic twist is, of course, in the casting. Reynolds will be returning as the unlikely but highly accomplished bodyguard Michael Bryce, who now wants to change careers. That all changes when he encounters Sonia (Salma Hayek), an infamous international con artist and wife of assassin Darius Kincaid (Jackson), who Bryce had to protect in the first movie. Some very shady and dangerous folks want Sonia and Darius dead, and Bryce--just when he thought he was out--has to come back for one last job. Another trailer was released back in April, but be sure to check out what Reynolds has shared online, below.

The movie also stars Antonio Banderas, Morgan Freeman, and Frank Grillo, and it's directed by Patrick Hughes, who also helmed the first film. The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard was originally slated to come out in August, but now will be released on June 16.

If Reynolds's sense of humor cracks you up, it's well worth clicking through to his account and going back a little bit. He recently sat down to watch his 2011 superhero movie Green Lantern for the first time, and live-tweeted his mocking and grudgingly praising reactions. Reynolds will also return to the role of Deadpool for the third movie, but that isn't expected for some time.
