My Spy: The Eternal City - Release Date, Cast, Story, Trailer & Everything We Know (2024)

The long-awaited sequel to 2020's My Spy is finally on the way, and there are already a ton of exciting details about My Spy: The Eternal City. The original film starred ex-wrestler Dave Bautista as JJ, a CIA operative who is caught spying by a young girl named Sophie (Chloe Coleman) and blackmailed into teaching the precocious child how to be a secret agent. The battle of wits between the two disparate characters was the crux of the humor and heart of the film and it had great sequel potential from the start.

Critics were quite harsh on the family-friendly action flick, and it scored a paltry 48% on Rotten Tomatoes. On the financial end, the movie didn't fare much better and was a victim of the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 which saw most movie theaters around the world shut down due to social distancing. Amazon acquired the rights to the film in early 2020, and My Spy was dumped on streaming without ever receiving a full-fledged run in cinemas. Now, a sequel is coming soon that hopes to turn the oft-forgotten action-comedy into a franchise.
