Premise

A CIA agent teams up with other international agents to recover a top-secret weapon.[2] The title is derived from Agent 355, a female spy for the patriots during the American Revolution.[3]

Cast

Production

Jessica Chastain proposed the idea for a female-led spy film in the same spirit as the Mission: Impossible and James Bond series to her Dark Phoenix director Simon Kinberg while in production on that film. The concept was built upon and in May 2018, it was announced that Kinberg would direct the film with Chastain producing, in addition to her starring alongside Marion Cotillard, Penélope Cruz, Fan Bingbing and Lupita Nyong'o. The project was pitched to buyers during the 2018 Cannes Film Festival, with Global Road Entertainment and Amazon Studios bidding for the distribution rights,[4][5] and Universal Pictures ultimately winning the North American distribution rights with a $20 million plus bid.[6]

In February 2019, Chastain put out a request for suggestions in regards to the casting of male actors.[7] In May 2019, it was announced Sebastian Stan and Édgar Ramírez had joined the cast of the film, with Cotillard dropping out.[8] Diane Kruger was added in June.[9]

Filming began in July 2019, shooting between Paris, Morocco and London,[10][11][12] using locations including Senate House.[13] In September 2019, Emilio Insolera joined the cast of the film.[14] Additional photography was filmed in London in July 2020 with precaution protocols due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[15]

Release

It is scheduled to be released by Universal Pictures on January 14, 2022. It was originally scheduled to be released on January 15, 2021, but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[16]
