10. John and Jane Smith from Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005)
We don’t typically consider married couples to be menacing, but there’s an exception to every rule — and John and Jane Smith are definitely one. From trying to kill each other at their house to dispatching countless assassins sent after them while working together, the Smiths are a force to be reckoned with — or, better, not even touched.
9. Chris Wolff from The Accountant (2016)
They often say that the most dangerous people are the ones who patiently try to avoid the fight, and Chris Wolff is the ultimate proof of that. He’s not excited about killing people, but when dookie hits the fan, he does what has to be done to succeed. The scariest part about Wolff is that he’s always over-prepared for any scenario.

Pop quiz hot shot: What’s the best action movie of the past 20 or 30 years that never received a cinematic sequel? Nope, it’s not Speed. Is it Wanted? Nobody? The Accountant? How about Knight and Day or American Made? While the latter comes from director Doug Liman, we’d argue that the correct answer is Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Liman’s eminently watchable assassin thriller that continues to shine thanks to the explosive chemistry between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, two luminous movie stars who met and fell in love during production. Although the movie earned decent reviews and grossed nearly half a billion dollars worldwide, Mr. & Mrs. Smith never received an official sequel or cinematic spinoff and is often remembered for the juicy tabloid gossip surrounding its two superstars.
Yet, in 2024, a small-screen adaptation of Liman’s hit action flick has been produced by Amazon Prime Video,...

In the ever-evolving landscape of television where reboots are normalized, Mr. and Mrs. Smith emerges as a refreshing take on established material. Starring Donald Glover and Maya Erskine and helmed by co-creator Francesca Sloane, the series was highlighted at Deadline’s Contenders Television awards-season event, where the duo delved into the creative process behind the innovative adaptation.
The Prime Video series follows two strangers who are recruited by a mysterious organization to act as married spies named John and Jane Smith. This setup paves the way for high-stakes espionage entangled with evolving personal dynamics.
As Erskine put it on the panel, “The couple must work through missions as their espionage skills, and developing relationship, are put to the test as they try not to get killed in the process.”
One might wonder how Erskine and Glover fostered believable chemistry on screen. Erskine, on the panel with Sloane, shared a pivotal moment.

Amazon Prime Video’s “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” is taking this Emmy race seriously.
With stars Donald Glover and Maya Erskine leading the charge, “Mr. & Mrs. Smith,” which draws inspiration from the 2005 movie featuring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, is set to compete in the drama categories at this year’s awards ceremony.
Crafted by Glover and Francesca Sloane, the show’s debut season stretches across eight episodes, centering on John and Jane Smith, secret agents who pose as a married couple while working for a shadowy corporation. Its blend of comedy and drama offered the potential to categorize it in either genre for awards consideration.

Though it’s based on a 2005 movie of the same name, Prime Video’s Mr. and Mrs. Smith is something that’s increasingly rare these days: an honest-to-goodness TV show. The Donald Glover and Francesca Sloane-created spy thriller understands the required rhythms of its medium very well. Each episode presents a self-contained chapter within the dangerous marriage of John (Glover) and Jane Smith (Maya Erskine) while also subtly forwarding their overall story.
The commitment to the usual TV format also means that Mr. and Mrs. Smith gets to introduce one hell of a roster of guest stars. Save for its finale, every episode of this show features at least one stupendously talented and famous guest star. If you’re wondering who each of these guest stars are or where you’ve previously seen them: don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. What follows is a list of the Mr. and Mrs. Smith cast,...

Prime Video recently premiered a thrilling rendition of the 2005 classic action of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005), starring Donald Glover and Maya Erskine in pivotal roles for the Amazon Original series. The story revolves around two strangers who land a job working for a mysterious spy agency that offers them a glorious life of espionage, wealth, world travel, and a dream brownstone in Manhattan. While the thrill and drama from the 2005 version remains, many exciting elements have been adapted to fit the world and characters of the show.
Erskine, who plays the mysterious and lethal agent Jane in the series Mr. & Mrs. Smith, delves into what sets this rendition apart from the original blockbuster. She reveals, “In the movie, they meet and don’t know each other are spies. In this version, we know we are entering this agreement of becoming partners and essentially carrying out missions together.

This article contains spoilers up to episode 4 of "Mr. & Mrs. Smith."
The opening to director Doug Liman's "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" set the tone for that movie, following a pair of super-spies for opposing agencies who, through sheer coincidence, happen to be a married couple living secret double lives. After the framing device places Brad Pitt's John Smith and Angelina Jolie's Jane Smith in couple's therapy, we flashback to the sultry circumstances of their original meet-cute and the whirlwind romance that ultimately resulted in a marriage that's now on autopilot. We quickly realize that they're both impossibly good-looking, extremely proficient at their jobs and basically never make a single mistake ... until their last assignment puts them on a collision course with one another, at least.
Now, it's Prime Video's turn to revitalize this concept through its own series, as spearheaded by Donald Glover and Francesca Sloane. In place of Pitt and Jolie,...

When it comes to Prime Video's Mr. & Mrs. Smith series, viewers would be wise to check their expectations at the bulletproof door. Creators Donald Glover and Francesca Sloane are less concerned with rebooting the 2005 film than remixing it entirely: They deemphasize the espionage to instead center the relationship between two lonely recruits, played by Glover and Maya Erskine, navigating the real emotions underpinning their fake marriage.
In the most obvious departure from the film, John (Glover) and Jane Smith (Erskine) aren't rival spies, but employees paired up by their mysterious agency and given new identities as a married couple — "an old Kgb tactic," Jane explains during their first mission, intended to "draw less attention" to their work.

This article contains spoilers for the final episode of Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
Through its eight-episode run, Mr. and Mrs. Smith follows the familiar rhythms and milestones of any romantic relationship, with appropriate episode titles to match. From “First Date” to “First Vacation” to “Do You Want Kids?” and even “Couples Therapy,” John Smith (Donald Glover) and Jane Smith (Maya Erskine) go through a journey of self discovery and come to understand each other better as well.
That’s why it’s more than a bit discomfiting that the eighth and final episode of Mr. and Mrs. Smith is named “A Breakup.” True to the title’s promise, John and Jane break up in this finale and they break up hard. Here the Prime Video series begins to resemble its 2005 film inspiration more than ever as John and Jane engage in an epic life-or-death battle across Manhattan, culminating in a...

Mr. & Mrs. Smith definitely didn’t surpass expectations, it mostly left us with question marks for expressions because of how lackluster the show really was. I suppose you could say there are some good parts; you’ve got beautiful sets and some fun fashion choices, but most importantly, a bunch of cameos that are meant to enhance the show considering how dull it is otherwise. Not to say that Donald Glover and Maya Erskine are incapable of holding our attention, but it’s probably a mix of the writing and the pacing of this show that had me completely bored by the end of it. And, no, even these incredible special appearances did not pique my interest in any way. However, they do add a little bit of fun, even if briefly, to the mostly tedious show.

Donald Glover is the new Brad Pitt, at least when it comes to Prime Video’s eight-episode “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” series. Glover stars in and co-created the reimagining of Pitt’s 2005 action-comedy, which famously paired the A-list actor with Angelina Jolie.
“I’m not a big fan of remakes, so this was kind of a big deal to kind of take it on,” Glover told Entertainment Tonight at the show’s premiere. “Once I saw the original, I was like, ‘This is a good date movie.’ And I was like, ‘Maybe I could make a good date show out of it?’ Like, you know, something me and my wife could watch together.”
Glover confirmed that he “reached out to Brad” when he was first getting ready to take on their shared role of John Smith, but the Oscar winner did not have much wisdom to impart.

As a followup to Atlanta and Swarm, Donald Glover adapting Doug Liman’s entertaining 2005 spy caper Mr. and Mrs. Smith for a television format is an unlikely choice. That said, there’s a certain timeliness to the premise of a married spy couple trying to survive missions and each other, ideally suited for every generation.
This iteration, created by Glover and Francesca Sloane, is a strictly millennial-geared update with a progressive heart and more romantic soul to round out its stealthy concept. Whereas this Glover and Maya Erskine-starring update likely won’t spur a pop culture impact as significant as the formerly-renowned Brangelina film did, Mr. and Mrs. Smith is a sizably entertaining and meditative spy thriller fit for a millennial demographic.
Set in bustling NYC, two stranger spies, John (Glover) and Jane Smith (Erskine), are interviewed for a potential spy gig by a mysterious agency they only speak to via texts.

Plot: Two lonely strangers land jobs working for a mysterious spy agency that offers them a glorious life of espionage, wealth, world travel, and a dream brownstone in Manhattan. The catch? New identities in an arranged marriage as Mr. and Mrs. John and Jane Smith. Now hitched, John and Jane navigate a high-risk mission every week while also facing a new relationship milestone. Their complex cover story becomes even more complicated when they catch real feelings for each other. What’s riskier: espionage or marriage?
Review: The 2005 film, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, was one of the top-grossing films of the year despite mixed reviews. Written by Simon Kinberg and directed by Doug Liman, the movie was bolstered by the real-life romance between stars Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.

At one point in Amazon’s Mr. & Mrs. Smith, John and Jane Smith (Donald Glover and Maya Erskine) become infatuated with another couple. Like them, the pair are part of an espionage program in which agents operate undercover as a married couple. Only these other Smiths seem so much more experienced and self-assured. There’s a movie-star swagger to them as they talk casually about the level of danger they’ve faced and their flawless mission record. It’s enough to make John and Jane, relative newbies in the field, feel inadequate.
Glover and Francesca Sloane might have felt a similar insecurity when they were asked to create a series based on Doug Liman’s 2005 box office hit starring two of the biggest movie stars on the planet, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, whose real-life love affair only ensured the film’s pop-cultural impact.

Donald Glover and Francesca Sloane are the creative forces behind the series. You might know them from ‘Atlanta’. They’re serving as co-creators and executive producers here. Glover also stars in the show as John Smith, with Maya Erskine from ‘PEN15’ as Jane Smith.
The show is about two strangers who get jobs at a mysterious spy agency. They’re promised an exciting life of espionage, lots of travel, and even a dream home in Manhattan. But there’s a twist. They have to pretend to be married. As they start working together, their fake marriage starts to feel real.

The new trailer for Amazon’s Mr. & Mrs. Smith has arrived just ahead of the series debut early next month. The series puts several twists on the formula. Firstly, the Doug Liman movie that the series is based on, which starred Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, had more of a True Lies-esque plot where a seemingly mundane suburban married couple discover that they both are secret agents and work for rival agencies. Here, the two are on an undercover mission as a married couple, and both may be in over their heads in many ways. Secondly, the two leads — Donald Glover and Maya Erskine — are normally known primarily for comedic roles and are dabbling in more action-oriented fare this time around.
The official synopsis from Amazon reads,
“Two lonely strangers land jobs working for a mysterious spy agency that offers them a glorious life of espionage, wealth, world travel,...

Donald Glover and Maya Erskine as two lonely strangers get to grips with undercover marriage and dangerous espionage in the latest trailer for Prime Video’s Mr. & Mrs. Smith series, a reboot of the 2005 New Regency film starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
“They didn’t bring up [that] we’d be pairing until the last interview,” Glover, as John Smith, tells a frosty Jane Smith (Erskine) early on in the trailer. “It’s an old Kgb tactic,” she replies awkwardly as the enemies-to-lovers rom-com trope kicks off.
Soon enough, romantic sparks and bullets aplenty fly in the teaser that has Mr. and Mrs. John and Jane Smith, now hitched as part of a mysterious spy agency, navigating complicated and real feelings for one another. It’s that combination of drama, action and romance in the Mr. & Mrs. Smith remake that viewers may recall from the 2005 movie of the same name.

It's been nearly 20 years since Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie lit up the screen as John and Jane Smith, a longtime couple whose love life has lost its fizzle when they discover they're both secretly spies/assassins from rival agencies that have been tasked with killing the other. Wisely, rather than trying to bottle sexy lightning twice, the creatives behind the upcoming "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" TV show have opted for an entirely different approach to the original.
Developed by Francesca Sloane and Donald Glover, the "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" series was initially set to reunite Glover with his "Solo: A Star Wars Story" co-star Phoebe Waller-Bridge before creative differences led to the latter departing the project (but with the "Atlanta" and "Fleabag" creators still on friendly terms). However, as enticing -- and hot -- as the Glover-Waller-Bridge pairing read on paper, the show has found what appears to be...

When Atlanta’s Donald Glover called Francesca Sloane suggesting they co-create a series inspired by Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s hit 2005 film Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Sloane wasn’t sure it would work. “But then he explained the idea of taking something that is such a saturated genre and subverting it,” she says. “That felt absolutely intriguing.” The result is eight episodes of what Sloane calls “a remix” featuring Glover and Pen15’s Maya Erskine as John and Jane Smith. “We focus on the quieter moments,” she says, while promising there will still be elements from the film: “shoot-’em-ups and really exciting action.” That includes the pair’s “clumsy, horrific” attempts at disassembling a body—no wonder, like their movie counterparts, the partners go to counseling! Here are three more things to watch for when Prime Video‘s Mr. & Mrs. Smith debuts on February 2. 1. Despite lots of nods to the original,...

Donald Glover and Francesca Sloane are bringing Mr and Mrs Smith to the small screen, here’s the trailer.
2005 was a good year for action films. Jet Li gave one of his greatest performances opposite Bob Hoskins in Unleashed and Christopher Nolan kicked of his iconic trilogy with Batman Begins.
Another hugely successful film that year was Mr And Mrs Smith. It saw Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie play a married couple who, unbeknownst to each other, are both world class assassins. The film originally cast Nicole Kidman to star opposite Pitt, but scheduling conflicts with The Stepford Wives meant she had to drop out.
Doug Liman directed the film from a screenplay by Simon Kinberg, and while it is by no means perfect, it remains a hugely enjoyable, rollicking ride.
Now, Donald Glover and Francesca Sloane have brought the story to the small screen.
The synopsis reads as follows:...

The Mr and Mrs Smith trailer from Prime Video shows off a captivating spinoff series with a twist.
If you enjoyed the original 2005 film starring Brad Pitt (Bullet Train) and Angelina Jolie (Maleficent), you’d be pleased to know that all the significant aspects have been maintained.
The series is fearless in deviating from its original idea. This time, the Smiths aren’t secretive spouses. They begin as two miserable strangers who respond to an ad promising a fascinating life – and to enjoy that life, they must change their names to Mr John and Mrs Jane Smith.
They must not only manage the hazards of high-stakes espionage but also the perils of marriage.
The teaser set the tone by showing the upscale spy ambiance, the missions that take the pair worldwide, their constant banter and arguing, and their weekly therapy sessions.

Prime Video has just released the trailer for Donald Glover‘s new project, the action-comedy Mr. & Mrs. Smith. While the series is based on the 2005 Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie movie of the same name, the story of the show is actually inverted from the film. Doug Liman’s comedy had Pitt and Jolie’s characters having sort of a True Lies-esque revelation where both realize their spouse has actually been a secret agent. Here, Glover is partnered with Maya Erskine as they’re both undercover as a married couple on a mission.

The first teaser for Mr. & Mrs. Smith from Amazon’s Prime Video showcases the beginnings of a relationship between its two lead characters — and a lot of bullets.
The series, loosely based on the 2005 film starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, has Donald Glover and Maya Erskine playing the two title characters. The show is something of an inverse of the movie: Rather than a married couple discovering each other’s real job as a rival assassin, Glover and Erskine will play two people recruited for a spy agency and told to pose as a couple.
As the show’s official description puts it, “Two lonely strangers land jobs working for a mysterious spy agency that offers them a glorious life of espionage, wealth, world travel, and a dream brownstone in Manhattan. The catch? New identities in an arranged marriage as Mr. and Mrs. John and Jane Smith. Now hitched,...

“Have you ever killed anyone?” might not qualify as normal first-date talk. Then again, very little about Mr. & Mrs. Smith‘s relationship — as evidenced in the first trailer for the Prime Video drama — qualifies as “normal.”
