The project was initially titled “Susan Cooper.”

 

50 Cent will be playing himself in the film. However, Jason Statham will be hanging up his action star persona in order to play a clumsy CIA analyst. Jude law’s character is the super spy who uses his good looks as a weapon. It’s unknown the role Nia Long will play, but she is apart of the cast. As for 50 Cent, details are scarce as to how his part will be written into the plot of the action comedy.

50 showed his excitement for his latest role by tweeting, “I be hustling like a motherfvcker right. LMAO THIS IS A BIG ONE.”
