Let me prefix this trailer post by saying that I totally forgot this sequel was happening and ask… did anyone ask for it? Well, regardless, Amazon is giving it to us a s Dave Bautista is doing his father thing once again the new trailer for My Spy: The Eternal City. The first film was decent and cute and Bautista rocks it in any genre he plays around in, but this one looks unnecessary and generic on all levels. Bautista is like a Ninja though as he can elevate any movie he is in, and it looks like he will firmly be putting this one on his back to reach the finish line. Scroll below to watch the new footage.
The eagerly awaited follow-up to 2020’s action comedy, My Spy The Eternal City, reunites a beloved cast led by Dave Bautista and Chloe Coleman in a feel-good family adventure set in some of Europe’s most storied destinations. When Sophie’s (Coleman) high school choir is selected for an Italian tour culminating in a performance for the Pope in Vatican City, JJ (Bautista) sees this as an opportunity to bond with his new stepdaughter, so he volunteers to help chaperone the group through the Venetian canals, across Florence’s renowned bridges and into Rome’s most historic sites. Instead, he finds that he and Sophie have become unwitting pawns in a terrorist plot that could end the world as we know it. Returning stars Ken Jeong and Kristen Schaal are joined by Anna Faris, Craig Robinson and Flula Borg in this all-new international action comedy from director Pete Segal (Get Smart, 50 First Dates).
The trailer looks passable, but the key art is horrendous as well as the title and as much as I am excited to see Bautista go all John Wick in The Killer’s Game, my anticipation for this one is way over on the other end of the spectrum. I’m sure I’ll watch it with my daughter but hopefully it’ll be just once.
The first film did delight audiences as it became the third most watched streaming title of 2020, and it did invoke vibes of Kindergarten Cop and The Pacifier. Who knows, I could like it upon viewing but I’m not holding my breath.
