It’s a rip-roaring chain of events that culminates in the reveal of Sacha Baron Cohen’s sibling, a laid-back passenger who doesn’t bat an eyelid when it comes to scrapping by. The humorist known for oafish, deviously irritating characters like Borat, Ali G, and Bruno has been pretty quiet since he took a starring role in 2013’s adaptation of Les Miserables as the greedy slumlord Thénardier.

It then cuts to Cohen, who plays Graves’s long-lost disreputable brother, Grimsby resident Nobby, who is “testing” a department store bed with his girlfriend (Rebel Wilson).
Sony Pictures released the first, red-band trailer for The Brothers Grimsby this week, and while it opens with a sequence that would be fitting in any good spy movie, it finishes with a scene that is very much, well … The Incredible Hulk’s Louis Leterrier is directing the movie which has now been retitled The Brothers Grimsby (if you’re wondering why that name has started doing the rounds online today). Strong plays Nobby’s brother, Sebastian, who spent the last few decades becoming one of the world’s greatest secret agents and a deadly assassin for the British government.

“The Brothers Grimsby” will hit cinemas from March 14, 2016 in the United Kingdom and US. On the run and wrongfully accused, Sebastian realizes that if he is going to save the world, he will need the help of its biggest idiot.
