'My Spy' will see a 'sensitive and comedic' side of Dave Bautista, promises director Peter Segal
For both ‘Second Act’ and ‘My Spy,’ Segal is grateful for STX, for he recognizes that not all directors will have the privilege that he has.
Peter Segal, the man who steered Jennifer Lopez’s comeback project ‘Second Act,’ has moved on to a helm a movie, in the completely different genre of action comedy for STX Entertainment. The movie, 'My Spy,' set for release in 2019, stars ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ star Dave Bautista.
STX, who were through the roof happy with the test results from ‘Second Act,’ “exposed” Segal to the movie, which he was excited to work on. He says, “Most people know [Bautista] as Drax from 'GOTG' and what I love about the opportunity to work with him in a movie is he is a newer, fresher star on the rise and I don't think anyone has seen yet the kinds of different gears he has as an actor.”
