Move over, James Bond, Melissa McCarthy is horning in on your territory! The first trailer for Spy has been released and it’s hilarious! With Jason Statham, Jude Law, 50 Cent & Miranda Hart this is a must-watch. The Bond parallels are obvious and it’s such fun to see McCarthy play a spy character who is so far removed from the alpha male types we’re so used to seeing.

McCarthy plays a desk-bound CIA analyst who transforms into s Spy. Naturally, she has a hard time following the rules and staying out of trouble. Jude Law plays a suave super spy and Jason Statham plays an arrogant, yet clumsy spy – you’d think these guys would be more at home in a serious spy thriller rather than a goofy comedy, but we’re certainly not complaining! It’s unclear how 50 Cent figures into the plot, but he will play himself.
Official Synopsis: Susan Cooper (Melissa McCarthy) is an unassuming, deskbound CIA analyst, and the unsung hero behind the Agency’s most dangerous missions. But when her partner (Jude Law) falls off the grid and another top agent (Jason Statham) is compromised, she volunteers to go deep undercover to infiltrate the world of a deadly arms dealer, and prevent a global disaster.
Directed by Paul Feig this movie marks yet another collaboration with Mccarthy. Their fruitful relationship started with Bridesmaids, which took both of their careers to another level. They worked together on 2013’s The Heat and are now looking to team up again with the Ghostbusters reboot.
We have so much spy fun to look forward to this year – what with Kingsmen, Agent Carter the new James Bond movie and now Spy, 2015 is shaping up to be the Year of the Spy and we’re real happy with that! The film will hit cinema’s on May 22, 2015.
