Upcoming "Mr. And Mrs. Smith" Series Looks Like Another Diversity Reboot, And The Internet Isn't Happy
The beloved 2005 romance/action movie is being repurposed into a series on Amazon. Of course, the leads are minorities, and many people are even complaining that the new actors aren't attractive enough to fill the shoes of Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
Prime Video recently announced that the series Mr. and Mrs. Smith, starring Donald Glover, is set to premiere in 2024. The series is inspired by the 2005 blockbuster film of the same name that featured Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Mr. and Mrs. Smith became a cultural phenomenon for various reasons, including its action-packed sequences, romantic tension, and the palpable chemistry between its lead stars. Directed by Doug Liman, the movie centers on John and Jane Smith, a seemingly average suburban couple who are hiding a big secret: Both are deadly assassins employed by rival organizations. Their marriage faces the ultimate test when they're each assigned to eliminate the other, leading to a thrilling mix of action and romantic comedy.
