The sequel to 2017’s The Hitman’s Bodyguard was originally scheduled for an August 28th 2020 release before being delayed an entire year to the aforementioned August 20th 2021 date due to the ongoing global health crisis.

Ryan Reynolds, Samuel L. Jackson, Salma Hayek, and Richard E. Grant are reprising their starring roles from the 2017 original, while newcomers to the cast include Antonio Banderas, Morgan Freeman, Frank Grillo, and Tom Hooper. The follow up sees Patrick Hughes return to direct from a script by Tom O’Connor.
