Both Dano and Turturro were part of the ensemble cast of The Batman, which earned more than $768 million around the globe earlier this year. Dano took on the iconic role of The Riddler, manipulating and psychologically torturing Robert Pattinson’s Bruce Wayne to his near breaking point. Turturro also took a villainous turn in The Batman, playing crime boss and head of Gotham City’s underworld Carmine Falcone. The performances of both actors were well received, and the pair are using that momentum to catapult themselves into another established property in the world of streaming.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith is Full of Comic Book Movie Connections
Speaking of comic book films, Cole will be jumping head first into that world later this year in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. It’s unknown what role Cole is going to be playing in the Black Panther sequel, but it marks the highest-profile project of her career. Of the five cast members that have been revealed for Mr. and Mrs. Smith so far, four of them have been part of either a DC or MCU film, as Glover played Aaron Davis in 2017’s Spider-Man: Homecoming. In the comics, Davis is the uncle of Miles Morales, which means Glover may have a future in the MCU down the line once Miles is officially brought into the fold. In the meantime, Glover will be hard at work producing and starring in the new iteration of Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
