Angelina Jolie Set to Play Badass Spy Once Again

The superstar has previously played female secret agents multiple times, and now she's landed such a role again. What do we know about it?

As The Hollywood Reporter reports, Jolie has landed a role in "The Initiative," which will be directed by Doug Liman. The filmmaker previously helmed one of the most pivotal films in Angelina's career – "Mr. & Mrs. Smith." In that movie, she played a spy posing as an ordinary married woman. Her character's husband was also a spy, but she had no idea. Brad Pitt starred opposite in that one.

Angelina Jolie will play a spy again
There was at least one other film where Jolie brought a badass secret agent to life on screen. That was "Salt," which hit theaters in 2010. Despite solid box office numbers and hints at a sequel, the movie never got a follow-up. The zoomboola.com editorial team wants to note that this time around, Angelina will play a spy named Bright, who has to "re-educate" a young agent who doesn't agree with her methods. The script is already being described as something in the spirit of the action thriller "Training Day."
