''The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard'' is a 2021 action comedy and the sequel to ''Film/TheHitmansBodyguard''. It stars Creator/RyanReynolds, Creator/SamuelLJackson, Creator/SalmaHayek, Creator/AntonioBanderas, and Creator/MorganFreeman.

Still stressed by the events of the first film, Michael Bryce decides to take a holiday and not think about bodyguarding. His plans come to a screeching halt when Sonia Kincaid barrels into his life and forces him to help her and Darius -- her husband, Bryce's former protectee, and the cause of Bryce's lingering mental issues -- survive the Mafia's plot to kill the two of them.
