My Spy: The Eternal City - Release Date, Cast, Story, Trailer & Everything We Know
A sequel to the 2020 action-comedy My Spy has been in the works for years, and now more details are starting to emerge about My Spy: The Eternal City.
Screen Rantinterviewed Bautista and Coleman about their new movie,My Spy: The Eternal City. Coleman discussed the rigorous stunt training she endured, while Bautista broke down the new dynamic between JJ and Sophie and shared his hopes fora future in James Gunn’s DC Universe.
My Spy: The Eternal City Offers A New Dynamic Between JJ & Sophie
Bautista revealed how the relationship has changed between JJ and Sophie since they bonded inMy Spy. He also shared how JJ tries to rebuild the relationship based on what he is comfortable with after taking bad advice from a co-worker instead of listening to Sophie.
Dave Bautista: There is the struggle. I think that’s it. I think JJ is really just confused. He’s lost. I think he thought he had figured out how to be a dad to Sophie and now that she’s grown up and she’s changing and she’s getting away from wanting to be a spy, he just doesn’t know what the right thing to do is.
So instead of letting go a little bit and letting her grow up, he’s just become overbearing and trying to force her back into where he is comfortable with her being. But I think that’s it. Also he’s gotten some pretty bad advice from Craig Robinson’s character, which has confused him even more. So I think that’s it. I think we go on this field trip, but I think JJ is pretty much in survival mode.
Coleman is a more prominent part of the action inMy Spy: The Eternal City, able to show off her skills by performing her own stunts. She broke down the stunt training she undertook and why she was excited about flexing this new muscle.
Chloe Coleman: Well, I did have the opportunity to do my own stunts and I wanted to do as many as I could, and the training was really intensive and even scary sometimes. But overall, it was so fun and it was a journey for me myself. I think I grew as a person, but I also acquired these skills with martial arts and wuxia and kickboxing.
I learned how to scuba dive and I went to iFLY and I did skydiving simulations. I rode a moped, which was awesome. It was just so much fun. It was a lot of work, but I’m really glad I did it. I wanted to do as much as I could and it was great. It was so fun.
Dave Bautista Reveals His New DCU Dream: “I Just Felt Like I Was Just Too Old To Play Bane”
Bautista rose to prominence in the acting world after playing Drax in Guardians of the Galaxy and fans have been hoping to see him team up with Gunn once more, but this time in the DC Universe he is building. While Bautista has expressed an interest in playing Bane or Lex Luthor before, he revealed what specifically he is looking for in a DC role beyond working with Gunn again.
Dave Bautista: Forever, it was Bane. When I was younger, I wanted to play Bane; it was like a dream role for me. I got to a point in my career where I just felt like I was just too old to play Bane. I think the physicality of it, at this point in my career and my life, I just wouldn’t be able to do the character justice.
Then I saw somewhere online that someone posted something of me playing Lex Luthor; an older Lex Luthor. I kind of became obsessed with that idea. Obviously, they moved on from that idea, so at this point, I’m struggling to find my place in the DC universe. But I’d really be up for anything.
I really just want to work with James again - and in a major role. Because I realized a lot of people that he’s worked with, they’ll come in and they just want to be there and work with him and have fun. They will come in and make cameos and do minor roles. But I want to be there through the duration of the film and play a major role.
So yeah, I don’t know what it is, but if James ever calls, I’m going to pick up and I’m going to say yes.
