The story between Mr. and Mrs. Smith has a turbulent tradition: on and off screen. Before creating Brangelina 19 years ago, the film about two married and rival professional assassins passed through the hands of Johnny Depp and Nicole Kidman, but was immortalized with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Then, it almost became a TV series (with the pilot recorded and discarded) until Phoebe Waller Bridge and Donald Glover, after working together on Han Solo and being successful separately (she with Fleabag and he with Atlanta) were announced in 2020 as the next Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
