With My Spy: The Eternal City, Dave Bautista—known for his performances in films including Blade Runner 2049, Dune, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Guardians of the Galaxy—has returned to the action comedy subgenre. Now available just on Amazon Prime Video, this movie is a straight follow-up to the 2020 hit My Spy. Although the movie is currently trending on the platform, it breaks Bautista's run of well-received performances, so deviating from his most recent critical successes.
