The James Bond spoof began with the 2003 film that was co-written by Bond scribes Neal Purvis and Robert Wade (Casino Royale, Skyfall) and Davies (How to Train Your Dragon, Twins), telling the story of the bumbling MI-7 agent, Johnny English.

The sequel arrived eight years later with 2011’s Johnny English Reborn, which matched its predecessor’s global box office take worldwide. The sequel also starred Gillian Anderson, Dominic West, Rosamund Pike, Daniel Kaluuya, and Richard Schiff.
