It’s one of the most intriguing remakes of the beginning of the year: a new iteration of the famous spy and assassin couple, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, has arrived on Prime Video. Co-written and edited by Francesca Sloan, Mr. and Mrs. Smith depicts an arranged marriage between two secret agents who succeed in high-risk missions as their relationship takes new steps.
After Scott Bakula and Maria Bello in the 1996 TV series of the same name and Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in Mr. and Mrs. Since 2005, Doug Liman’s Smith has introduced new faces: Donald Glover, as well as co-author Maya Erskine.
Meet the new Mr. and Mrs. Smith
Donald Glover
Donald Glover, 40, is a versatile American artist as he is an actor, screenwriter, director, producer, comedian, beatmaker, musician, rapper and DJ. Musically, you may know him as Childish Gambino, the moniker with which he released 4 albums and won multiple Grammy Awards.
As an actor, Donald Glover cut his teeth as a writer on Tina Fey’s 30 Rock, but he is best known for his role as Troy Barnes on the sitcom Community, which was a hit from 2009 to 2013.
We’ve since seen him in films like Mars Alone, The Lazarus Effect and Magic Mike XXL, but it’s his Atlanta TV series that’s regained his popularity on screen, along with the rapper’s blossoming career.
Donald Glover then became more prominent in blockbusters, playing the Prowler in Spider-Man: Homecoming, a role he later reprized as a vocal in the animated film Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse.
He also voices Simba in The Lion King, the new 3D animated version of the Disney classic. Finally, Donald Glover becomes a younger version of Lando Calrissian in the Star Wars universe in Solo: A Star Wars Story. A film based on his character is also being prepared.
Maya Erskine
Maya Erskine, born in 1987 to a Japanese mother and European father, is an American actress and screenwriter, best known for her television roles as Maggie in Man Seeking Woman and Mickey in Beta. He also appeared in Insecure, Casual and Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later before hitting the big time with his own series PEN15.

He created and co-produced this comic fiction with Anna Konkle, and the two actors play fictional versions of themselves at 13 years old. In addition to the series, Maya Erskine has appeared in several films, ranging from horror (Frankenstein, 10 Lane of Cloverfield), comedy (Weekend in Napa, The Two of Us!) and indie (6 Bubbles, Sacramento).
His latest project is his foray into the world of fantasy and blockbusters after his role as Pilot Sally in the Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi series.
