Mr. & Mrs. Smith
While he may be up for an Emmy for his work both in front of and behind the camera on the show , Donald Glover’sMr . & Mrs. Smithseason 2 future look more uncertain with a raw casting update . The Prime Video show serves as a television adaptation of the Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie movie of the same name , flipping the chemical formula to be about a male and female spy partnered to work hush-hush as a married twain , and the worked up connexion they form along the path . Co - make and co - led by Glover , Mr. & Mrs. Smithwas a strike smasher , garner 16 Emmy nominating speech .
Deadlinehas bestow word that Amazon MGM Studios has castMark Eydelshteyn to star inMr . & Mrs. Smithseason 2 in the precede manly role . The publication also reports that the rumors of Billie Eilish being eyeball for the lead distaff theatrical role ultimately fell through due to her busy agenda with touring , and are now looking for " an actor and actress in their 20s " to play the nominal roles in a " one - twelvemonth " peck . TheAnorabreakout star ’s casting further raise uncertainty regarding Glover ’s payoff to the lead part , peculiarly as he will only be back in season 2 as executive producer rather than co - showrunner .
What Eydelshteyn’s Casting Means For Mr. & Mrs. Smith Season 2
Glover’s Fate Is Looking More Grim
Ever since the cliffhanger season 1 terminate , Glover and co - creator / showrunner Francesca Sloane have been very cautious when it come in to sharinginformation onMr . & Mrs. Smithseason 2 , peculiarly the fate of Glover ’s John and Maya Erskine ’s Jane . After initial report came out that neither star would be returning , Sloane even know that writing had not yet begun on the next time of year , assuring that she and Glover would not want to ruin their cliffhanger finish via news headlines , and as such , sure enough lead some with promise for the original stars to return .
That being said , between Eydelshteyn ’s casting and some reports indicating that Glover is only onboard as an EP , his John ’s fate is begin to look more dingy maneuver into season 2.TheMr . & Mrs. Smithseason 1 endingleft both John and Jane in an unclear predicament as they ’re trap in the safe elbow room with the former mortally wounded and the latter left with just one hummer to curb off against the other Smiths , only for three shots to be seen from outside the building . deliberate season 1 also opened with another Smith couple being kill , Glover and Erskine certainly would n’t be the first in the show ’s macrocosm .
Mr. & Mrs. Smith end on a cliffhanger that put the luck of John & Jane into doubt . If the show returns for time of year 2 , here ’s how both give back .
The other major factor pointing to the possibility of Glover and Erskine ’s character being killed off for good after Eydelshteyn’sMr . & Mrs. Smithseason 2 castingis Sloane ’s history of work onFargo . The FX show has taken an anthological approach to its various seasons , therefore giving her some familiarity with working on a penning squad in which they for the most part did away with any string up secret plan train of thought from a prior season . look at Eydelshteyn will be playing a new John , and the search is afoot for a newfangled Jane , the original duet is looking less likely to be back .
Our Take On Eydelshteyn’s Mr. & Mrs. Smith Season 2 Casting
The Cliffhanger Shouldn’t Distract From The Young Star’s Performance
While all eyes will undoubtedly be on whether Glover and Erskine return for the time of year , I really do hope audiences are uncoerced to look past that and embrace Eydelshteyn ’s operation inMr . & Mrs. Smithseason 2 . As far as international watcher go , Anorareally put the new Russian actor on the mapas a star to watch , and much like the complicated romance at the heart of Sean Baker ’s hit , I opine him playing John in Prime Video ’s show could be one that rivals Glover ’s fantastic time of year 1 performance .
