Warner Bros. is developing a reboot of “Get Smart,” and multiple outlets report that John Mulaney is in early talks to star as Agent Maxwell Smart. Coverage characterizes the project as still in its initial stages, with casting not finalized.
The new film is reported to be written by Seth Grahame-Smith, who is also credited with the screenplay for “Now You See Me: Now You Don’t” (2025). Producing teams mentioned across reports include Andrew Lazar and Chuck Roven, with one outlet also tying them to the 2008 “Get Smart” film. While outlets largely agree on the same core creative and production names, they differ mainly in wording—one frames the casting as “circling” the lead, another describes “early talks,” and another emphasizes that Mulaney is being considered for the role—rather than providing additional plot details or casting confirmations.
No release date or further creative cast has been publicly identified in the provided reports.
