Filmmaker McG, known for Charlie's Angels and Terminator: Salvation, is uniting with Kevin Hart for an upcoming high-concept action-comedy from Netflix. This collaboration marks McG's return to the genre, over two decades after Charlie's Angels.
Based on a short story by Sean Lewis, the film follows two rival spies who meet in a Lamaze class, where their wives instantly become friends. Soon, their double lives collide in hilarious ways and are forced to forge a reluctant relationship as they journey towards fatherhood.
The film, which will be written by Adam and Aaron Nee, is produced by Shawn Levy, Dan Levine and Emily Morris for 21 Laps, the banner behind Stranger Things. They are joined by Ryan Reynolds' Maximum Effort and Hart's Hartbeat. One of the notable works of the writer-duo is Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum's The Lost City, and they have also worked on the upcoming Masters of the Universe film.
McG's last five films: The Babysitter (2017), Rim of the World (2019), The Babysitter: Killer Queen (2020), Family Switch (2023) and Uglies (2024), were made for Netflix. His upcoming film Way of the Warrior Kid stars Chris Pratt, Jude Hill and Linda Cardellini.
Kevin Hart last starred in Borderlands (2024) and will next be seen in Jumanji: Open World and 72 Hours.
