Johnny English Reborn is a 2011 British action comedy film parodying the James Bond secret agent genre. The film is the sequel to Johnny English (2003), and stars Rowan Atkinson reprising his role as the title character and directed by Oliver Parker.
Like its predecessor, the film parodies traits from the James Bond film series and clichés of the spy genre.Johnny English Reborn was met with mixed reviews but has grossed a total of $160,078,586 worldwide. It is also Atkinson and McInnerny's second collaboration after the series Blackadder. The film was released in the United Kingdom on October 7, 2011, and topped the country's box office for the next two weekends, before being dethroned by Paranormal Activity 3.
Eight years after the events of the first film, Johnny English (Rowan Atkinson) is learning martial arts in Tibet as penance for a botched mission in Mozambique which resulted in him being stripped of his Knighthood. He is contacted by MI7 towards the end of his training, who arrange for him to be flown back to London and call him back to service.
Johnny returns to MI7's London headquarters (now Toshiba British Intelligence) and meets new boss "Pegasus" (Gillian Anderson). He is assigned a mission to stop a plotted assassination of the Chinese Premier during scheduled talks with the Prime Minister. Johnny also meets with fellow agent and old acquaintance Simon Ambrose (Dominic West), as well as MI7's resident quartermaster, Patch Quartermain (Tim McInnerny). A junior agent, Colin Tucker (Daniel Kaluuya) is assigned to him for the mission.
