Kevin Hart and Henry Cavill’s spy comedy at Netflix has added three to its cast.
Jason Isaacs (“Harry Potter,” “The White Lotus”), Justine Lupe (“Nobody Wants This,” “Succession”) and Aja Naomi King (“Lessons in Chemistry,” “How to Get Away With Murder”) have joined the yet-to-be-titled film. Details about their roles are kept under wraps.
McG is directing the project, which hails from writers Jonathan Tropper, Adam and Aaron Nee, and Lizzie and Wendy Molyneux.
The logline of the film reads as follows: “When two rival spies cross paths in a Lamaze class and their wives become fast friends, their double lives collide in unexpectedly hilarious and dangerous ways, forcing the two men to reluctantly become confidantes and partners on the road to fatherhood.”
