Cate Blanchett and Michael Fassbender on Playing Married Spies in Steven Soderbergh’s Thriller ‘Black Bag’: ‘It’s Got to Be Sexy’


Cate Blanchett and Michael Fassbender on what drew them to Steven Soderbergh's sexy spy thriller 'Black Bag.'

“ Black Bag,” an elegant, quick-witted new thriller that finds Cate Blanchett and Michael Fassbender playing married spies, isn’t the pair’s first time together on screen. Regé-Jean Page, who co-stars as one of Blanchett and Fassbender’s fellow spies and dinner party guests, says working with the other members of the A-list ensemble on such high-wire scenes kept him on his toes. It was part of a wave of initiatives that took place after the #MeToo movement and then the murder of George Floyd left studios and streamers pledging to shake up their hiring practices and workplace cultures.
