In 2017, action-comedy The Hitman’s Bodyguard teamed up Hollywood’s most legendarily foul-mouthed icon – Samuel L. Jackson – with its greatest freewheeling motormouth – Ryan Reynolds – for an explosion of shoot-‘em-up setpieces with verbal assaults to match. And for its upcoming sequel, the duo is joined by Salma Hayek in a co-leading role as Sonia Kincaid, the wife of Jackson’s hitman Darius – hence that extra word in the follow-up’s title The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard. As seen in the upcoming new issue of Empire – on sale Thursday 21 January and available to pre-order online now here – we present a world-exclusive first look at the film.
