In the film, five days before the British PM (Emma Thompson) is to host her first G12 summit, MI7’s security is breached and every agent in the field identified and exposed.   The only hope of finding the perpetrator is to bring an agent out of retirement, but with most of them either dead or close to it, the head of MI7 is left with only one choice, and his name is English… Johnny English.  

Olga Kurylenko Brings on the Glam in "Johnny English Strikes Again"

No spy movie is complete without a glamorous side-kick and for Universal Pictures’ Johnny English Strikes Again, Rowan Atkinson has an actual Bond girl to spar with: Olga Kurylenko, who starred opposite Daniel Craig in Quantum of Solace.  

Kurylenko has garnered international recognition for her critically acclaimed work in film and television. Her most recent films include The Water Diviner (with Russell Crowe), Oblivion (with Tom Cruise) and Seven Psyhopaths (with Colin Farrell).
