Spy First Trailer: Melissa McCarthy Teams Up With Jason Statham

Before ‘Bridesmaids’ director Paul Feig brings us his ‘Ghostbusters’ reboot he’s got a little film called ‘Spy’ coming out which, judging by the first trailer, looks set to be a laugh riot.

Watch the debut – and completely safe for work - green band trailer above.

In a stroke of casting genius, the film stars Melissa McCarthy as deskbound CIA analyst Susan Cooper opposite Jude Law, Jason Statham, Rose Byrne, rapper 50 Cent… and TV funnywoman Miranda Hart.

From the trailer you can see that the mild-mannered Susan is called into action when her field agent (Jude Law’s suave Bond-esque spy) goes missing on the job.

Statham, in a rare comedic role (more of these please Hollywood), plays a gruff agent who butts heads with Cooper when she’s sent to track down the missing spy and infiltrate an arm dealing gang.

McCarthy looks like she’s on top form with a slapstick moment on a scooter providing one of the biggest laughs of the trailer. Hart looks like she’s playing Cooper’s long-suffering pal in her first major Hollywood role.

For the less easily offended, we’re also excited to debut the first red band trailer for the film.

It’s not exactly “safe for work”, so if you want to fully appreciate Jason Statham unleashing a foul-mouthed rant (and let’s face it, who doesn’t?) you’ll probably want to stick your headphones in for this one.

‘Spy’ is coming to cinemas on 5 June 2015 in the UK.
