Starring what went on to become Hollywood’s ‘It’ couple, before their relationship fell apart,Mr. and Mrs. Smithwas widely received as a great addition to the spy couple genre. Surrounded by the Brangelina phenomenon, the film was a huge hit and became one of the highest-grossing films of the year.
While there were attempts made to further extend the film’s success into a franchise, withMr. and Mrs. Smith 2,Jolie later shared in an interview that nothing substantial resulted with their efforts, ultimately resulting in the abandonment of sequel plans.
Unfulfilled Plans for Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s Return toMr. and Mrs. Smith 2
Mr. and Mrs. Smithwent on to become one of the most successful releases at the time,grossing$487 million worldwide. Combined with the film’s success and the star power the lead couple had at the time, there were soon discussions of a sequel.
While the possibility of the former couple reuniting forMr. and Mrs. Smith 2is unlikely following their split, the sequel to the 2005 action comedy film had been doomed long before their separation.
Angelina Jolie, who shared the screen with her ex-husbandBrad Pittin the movie, later confirmed that there were plans to extendMr. and Mrs. Smith’sstory in a sequel.
People have tried — And it’s strange: do we have kids in the movie? We’ve thought about that, but it becomes personal now that we actually have kids… We did ask somebody to look into Mr. & Mrs. to see if they could crack a sequel.
Unfortunately, little progress was made, as she revealed in a 2010 interview withVanity Fair.“But there wasn’t anything original,”she said before adding,“It was just, ‘Well, they’re going to get married, or they’ve got kids, or they get separated.’ Never great.”

AlthoughMr. and Mrs. Smith 2never came to fruition, the former couple did share the screen again in the 2015romantic dramaBy the Sea, shortly after getting married in 2014. However, their marriage ended nearly two years later when Jolie filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.

While plans for a sequel were abandoned due to a lack of significant progress,Mr. and Mrs. Smithwas re-imagined as a TV series reboot featuring a new cast of spies who live undercover as a married couple.
