What happens

Black Bag is a 2025 American spy thriller film directed by Steven Soderbergh and written by David Koepp. It stars Cate Blanchett, Michael Fassbender, Marisa Abela, Tom Burke, Naomie Harris, Regé-Jean Page, and Pierce Brosnan. In the film, British intelligence officer George Woodhouse (Fassbender) is assigned to investigate a list of suspected traitors, one of whom is his wife, Kathryn (Blanchett). The film was announced in January 2024, after the involvements of Soderbergh, Blanchett, and Fassbender were confirmed. The rest of the cast was rounded out that March and principal photography commenced that May, with filming taking place across London and at Pinewood Studios. Black Bag was theatrically released first in France on March 12, 2025, by Universal Pictures, and in the United States two days later, by Focus Features. It received critical acclaim and grossed $43.4 million worldwide on a $50–60 million budget. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
