  • What’s Inside:
  • John Mulaney might be Agent 86!
  • A new ‘Get Smart’ movie is in the works.
  • What this could look like visually.

You guys, we just saw something totally unexpected! John Mulaney, the hilarious comedian, is reportedly thinking about playing Maxwell Smart in a new ‘Get Smart’ movie. Can you picture it? We totally can!

This is super early days, so don’t get your hopes up *too* high just yet. But the thought of Mulaney trying to keep up with KAOS? It’s a visual feast already. Think of the smart-aleck lines and the awkward situations. It’s going to be pure comedy gold.

Seth Grahame-Smith is writing the script. He did that ‘Now You See Me’ sequel. The vibe could be really cool. We’re picturing a fun, maybe slightly retro aesthetic with a modern twist. Imagine bright colors and stylish spy gadgets, all through Mulaney’s unique comedic lens.

We’re already a little obsessed with this idea. It’s been ages since we’ve had a truly memorable spy comedy. This could be it!

Our Take

Honestly? We’re buzzing! John Mulaney has such a distinct style. Putting him in the iconic shoes of Maxwell Smart feels like a perfect match. We’re really hoping this goes through. It has the potential to be absolutely brilliant.
