Kevin Hart is teaming up with Aja Naomi King again for a new Netflix spy comedy that also stars Henry Cavill.
The upcoming film marks Hart and King’s first on-screen reunion since the 2017 comedy-drama The Upside. The project is currently untitled and is expected to blend action, comedy and an unusual journey into fatherhood.
Kevin Hart leads new Netflix spy comedy
Hart will star alongside Cavill as one of two rival spies whose lives take an unexpected turn. The story follows the pair after their wives become close friends.
The unlikely connection brings the two spies together at a Lamaze class. What begins as an ordinary class quickly leads to an unexpected partnership between the rivals.
As the men prepare for fatherhood, they find themselves working together while navigating dangerous situations. Their new alliance forces them to put their professional rivalry aside.
The combination of espionage and impending parenthood sets up a different kind of role for Hart and Cavill.
Kevin Hart and Aja Naomi King reunite
King has joined the cast alongside Hart, marking their first collaboration in nearly a decade.
The two actors previously appeared together in The Upside, which starred Hart and Bryan Cranston. The 2017 film followed an unlikely friendship between a wealthy man with quadriplegia and the caregiver he hires.
King has since built an impressive résumé across film and television. Her return to the screen with Hart adds another familiar connection to the new Netflix project.
Henry Cavill joins Kevin Hart
Cavill will play Hart’s rival spy in the upcoming comedy. The actor is known for action-heavy roles, including his portrayal of Superman and his work in the Mission: Impossible franchise.
The new movie will give Cavill an opportunity to combine his action background with comedy as his character becomes involved in an unusual partnership.
McG directs the Netflix movie
McG is directing the project from a screenplay written by Jonathan Tropper, Adam Nee, Aaron Nee, Lizzie Molyneux and Wendy Molyneux.
The creative team brings experience across action, comedy and character-driven stories. The movie’s premise gives Hart, Cavill and King an opportunity to explore a story that mixes spy missions with the challenges of becoming parents.
Netflix has not yet announced an official release date or title for the film.
For now, fans can look forward to seeing Kevin Hart and Aja Naomi King reunite on screen while Hart and Cavill take on the roles of rival spies turned unlikely partners.
