Ken Jeong and Kristen Schaal on the Fun of Returning for ‘My Spy The Eternal City’

Ken Jeong and Kristen Schaal star as David Kim and Bobbi in My Spy The Eternal City. The movie serves as a follow-up to the 2020 action comedy and is now streaming on Prime Video.

Back by popular demand, My Spy’s dynamic duo, veteran CIA operative JJ (Dave Bautista) and his 14-year-old stepdaughter and protégé Sophie (Chloe Coleman), reunite to save the world when a high school choir tour of Italy is interrupted by a nefarious nuclear plot targeting the Vatican.

“I think also getting to be a comedian and play in an action movie is a dream come true. Every comic wants to do something like this,” Schaal expressed. “We grew up idolizing movies that are spy action movies and then, to get to play a part in one and roll out some zingers is really a dream come true. I had no problem coming back to this movie and I had so much fun.”

Jeong continued, adding, “Yeah, I echo that, just so happy to be a part of this because to me, it was more than a movie, it was just reuniting with friends and family and we got to film internationally. So, to me, it was just getting the band back together. And so, I think all of us had that same collective spirit throughout all three months of shooting, no doubt.”
