Black Bag: Focus Features reveals fresh look with new official clip for Michael Fassbender's upcoming spy thriller

In another world, Magneto (Michael Fassbender) and Hela (Cate Blanchett) are husband-wife cum veteran spies who must face each other. There's a spy-cy tension in David Soderbergh's upcoming film dubbed Black Bag. The director was recently praised for his unique direction in his horror flick Presence (2024).

Other than Fassbender and Blanchett, Pierce Brosnan (GoldenEye), Rege-Jean Page (Bridgerton), Naomie Harris (Moonlight), and more are in the film. Focus Features is distributing it throughout the United States, and dropped a clip where we got a closer look at what Michael Fassbender's George Woodhouse is up to in the film.

George Woodhouse is keeping tabs on his wife in Black Bag

The latest Black Bag clip sees Fassbender's character keeping an eye on his wife via a camera. While he is on the overwatch, it appears like someone has a crush on him, that would be Clarissa Dubose (Marisa Abela).

She is so impressed by what he is doing and what he says for his wife, but then it appears to her that he is just being naughty for seeing his wife through the camera. But then he tells her,

"You asked how it works to be with someone in this business. this is how. You each know what you know and you know what you'll do and you never discuss certain things again. I watch her, I assume she watches me.

Then he goes on to explain in the Black Bag clip that despite these spy-cy tensions, he would go on to great lengths to save his wife if she is in trouble. That final explanation appears to be making Clarissa weak in the knees.

For more context of the movie, fans can watch the film's trailer that was dropped a couple of months ago, and this is how a brief plot of the story looks like (via IMDb).

"When intelligence agent Kathryn Woodhouse is suspected of betraying the nation, her husband - also a legendary agent - faces the ultimate test of whether to be loyal to his marriage, or his country."

We can expect some edge-of-the-seat sequences in the film, as David Koepp has worked the screenplay. He dons a range of hats, from comedy to crime, and he gave us the screenplay of Mission: Impossible (1996), which will see its mainline story finally coming to an end in The Final Reckoning.
