My Spy 2 possibly in the works from STX and Amazon Studios

STX and Amazon are in talks about My Spy 2

After the success of My Spy on streaming, it looks like STX and Amazon may want to bring a sequel. What do we know about My Spy 2 so far?

2020 has not been the year for movies. With theaters shutting down around the world, many movie studios have had to adapt. Originally, My Spy was set to hit theaters in March, but that date was pushed back to Apr. 17 due to the coronavirus pandemic mid-March. When theaters still didn’t open, STX had two choices: either continue to push back the release or try it out on streaming services/VOD.

More from Movies on Amazon

• Will Merry Little Batman come to DVD and Blu-ray?
• Will Saltburn come to DVD and Blu-ray after theaters?
• Is Saltburn coming to Amazon after theaters?
• Is Silent Night coming to Amazon after theaters?
• Everything streaming on Prime Video this week: Your Christmas or Mine 2 and more

STX opted for the latter. The movie was released on Amazon Prime Video in the U.S. and other select locations on June 26. It became an immediate hit, making the list of most watched movies and shows on Prime Video in both June and July so far. And those entrances weren’t in the bottom half of the list. Both months they’ve been high up.

So, with that in mind, it’s not surprising that Amazon wants more. It sounds like STX is interested, according to Deadline.

What we know about My Spy 2 so far

Nothing is known about the My Spy sequel. It may not even happen.

Right now, nothing has been ordered and no paperwork has been signed. STX is looking at getting the original cast together for a sequel. That would mean Dave Bautista and Chloe Coleman would both need to be on board for the movie. Considering the fun it sounded like they had the first time, this may not be a problem to arrange.

Others would need to be on board to create it. This needs the original creators to bring the same magic as this movie offered.

My Spy didn’t do that well with critics, flopping on Rotten Tomatoes. It’s all in the magic of the audience score. This one was made for families, and these types of movies never tend to do well with critics. You’ve got to remember who it’s made for!
