The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard is a 2021 action comedy film directed by Patrick Hughes, the sequel to the 2017 film The Hitman's Bodyguard. The film stars Ryan Reynolds as Michael Bryce, a bodyguard; Samuel L. Jackson as Darius Kincaid, a hitman; and Salma Hayek as Sonia Kincaid, Darius's wife. They are forced to team up to stop a terrorist attack. The film is a loud, violent, and funny action comedy, with a focus on the chaotic, over-the-top performances of its leads. It was a commercial success, earning over $70 million on a $70 million budget. The film was panned by critics, who criticized its weak plot and its over-reliance on profanity.
