‘Spy 2’: Director Paul Feig Gives Shockingly Positive Update on Sequel to the Jason Statham, Melissa McCarthy Starrer!!

Not long after one of Jason Statham’s most underrated movies made quite a successful run on streaming charts, his highest-rated project of his career just got a juicy sequel update. Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year is Spy, the caper comedy in which Statham stars alongside Jude Law, Melissa McCarthy, and more. Spy is currently the highest-rated movie of Statham’s career according to Rotten Tomatoes with a 95% rating, and it grossed over $235 million at the global box office. The film was written and directed by Paul Feig (Another Simple Favor), who is notorious for staying away from sequels. However, during a recent interview with HeyUGuys to promote Another Simple Favor, Feig was asked if there was any chance of a Spy ever getting a sequel, and he wouldn’t rule it out:

“If there was ever going to be another one of my movies that would have a sequel it would probably be Spy. So, you know, never say never.”

Another Simple Favor star Henry Golding was also part of the interview, and he, too, weighed in with his thoughts, proclaiming that “Spy has to have a sequel.” Spy follows a CIA analyst who volunteers to go undercover to infiltrate the world of underground arms trading to try to prevent a global catastrophe. In addition to Statham, Law, and McCarthy, Spy also stars Sam Richardson, who has become known for his role as Edwin Akufo in Ted Lasso. The film also features a couple of MCU stars in Bobby Cannavale (Ant-Man and the Wasp) and Morena Baccarin (Deadpool), who star in the roles of Sergio De Luca and Karen Walker. The Office veteran Zach Woods also can’t be forgotten, and he plays the infamous Man in the Purple Tie. Spy cost $65 million to produce.

Is Jason Statham’s ‘Spy’ on Streaming?

Jason Statham’s Spy is streaming exclusively on Hulu, and it can also be watched on Disney+ as part of the Disney+/Hulu bundle. The film is also available to rent or purchase on Prime Video for a few dollars, but Hulu’s plentiful volume of shows and movies for fans of all genres makes its subscription a much better value. Jason Statham’s fifth movie with Guy Ritchie, Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre, recently arrived on Peacock, and the film wasted no time climbing to the top of streaming charts. However, it has since been displaced by newer arrivals like Black Bag, the spy thriller starring Michael Fassbender.
