In the new trailer for Focus Features’ Johnny English Strikes Again, Rowan Atkinson’s bumbling secret agent wreaks havoc on innocent bystanders. He bombs cyclists, beats up a coffee shop patron with baguettes, and pushes a tour guide off the upper deck of a bus all while wearing a virtual reality headset.
In addition to Rowan Atkinson as Johnny English, the cast includes Ben Miller (I Want My Wife Back), Olga Kurylenko (The Death of Stalin), Emma Thompson (Saving Mr. Banks), and Jake Lacy (I’m Dying Up Here).

Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner, and Chris Clark served as producers on the comedy sequel. The behind the scenes team includes director of photography Florian Hoffmeister, production designer Simon Bowles, and editors Tony Cranstoun and Mark Everson.
Focus Features will launch the PG-rated comedy in theaters on October 26, 2018.

A man with few skills and analogue methods, English must overcome the challenges of modern technology—or his newest mission will become the Secret Service’s last.
