Summary

• Angelina Jolie's recent return to action roles sets the stage for a possible comeback in the hit show Mr. and Mrs. Smith season 2.
• The show's expanding cast could benefit from Jolie's potential reprise as Mrs. Smith or in a new intriguing role within the series.
• Jolie's successful history in the action genre makes her a perfect fit for the show's smart and creative approach to storytelling.

Angelina Jolie's most recent movies saw her return to action roles and revisiting one role from a popular, $487 million action movie would complete the comeback. While she was largely away from acting from 2016 until 2020, that year saw her return to participate in four films over the next two years. Several of Angelina Jolie's roles in 2021 included a return to the action genre, something that she dominated earlier in her career.

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Angelina Jolie played in some of the most iconic female action roles of the last 25 years, including two Lara Croft: Tomb Raider films, Gone in 60 Seconds, The Bone Collector, and Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. Later in her career, she would move on to do more voice work and more limited roles as she focused more on her family and her activism on issues such as African refugees, wildlife conservation, and child education. In her recent return to the action genre over the last three years, however, her starring role in the blockbuster hit Mr. and Mrs. Smith provides her with the ideal opportunity to revisit one of her best roles.

How Angelina Jolie Could Appear In Mr. & Mrs. Smith Season 2

The cast of Mr. and Mrs. Smith is likely to expand for season 2, and Angelina Jolie should be at the top of that list if she is interested.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith season 1 is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video.

Even if she is unable to reprise the role of Mrs. Smith, perhaps now serving at the level of "super high risk" level like some of the other spies in the first season of the show, there are still many ways Angelina Jolie could appear in Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Angelina Jolie's Jane Smith could have been promoted or graduated to the role of recruiter or trainer of the Johns and Janes. She also might be the perfect antagonist or foil for Mr. and Mrs. Smith, perhaps as a former agent turned rogue who knows the secrets of the organization.

Why Angelina Jolie Appearing In Mr. & Mrs. Smith Season 2 Would Be Perfect

Angelina Jolie made a successful action comeback beginning in 2021. In that year, she starred in action roles in both Those Who Wish Me Dead and Eternals, though neither was successful for a variety of reasons, and she's not been in any movies since then. She has interesting roles coming up, such as another starring role in Maria and reprising the titular character in Maleficent 3, but appearing in Mr. and Mrs. Smith season 2 would be the perfect addition to her action comeback.

The Mr. and Mrs. Smith movie starring Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video.

Angelina Jolie was a resounding success as part of the cast of the Mr. and Mrs. Smith film, but the Mr. and Mrs. Smith show has a smarter, more interesting and more creative approach than the movie. Jolie appearing in the next season of Mr. and Mrs. Smith would be a win for both her and for the show as it could connect the universes and add another level of intrigue to a show that has already received strong reviews. Angelina Jolie proved in 2021 that she is as relevant as ever in the action genre, so a pivot back to the Mr. and Mrs. Smith world would be the perfect next step.
