‘Mr & Mrs Smith’ movie vs series cast comparison: Here's who plays who in the Prime Video show
‘Mr & Mrs Smith’ was one of the biggest box office hits of 2005. It not only added more feathers to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s portfolios but also marked the beginning of their love story, which tragically ended eventually. Now, Francesca Sloane and Donald Glover have come up with a series of ‘Mr and Mrs Smith’, releasing on Prime Video on February 2, almost two decades after the film.
Let’s take a look at cast members from the film vs the series.
