’Til death do they part
BLACK BAG’S MICHAEL FASSBENDER AND CATE BLANCHETT ON PLAYING MARRIED SPIES INVOLVED IN A DEADLY CHASE
WORDS TOM ELLEN
Eye spies — George (Michael Fassbender ) and Kathryn (Cate Blanchett);
George and Freddie (Tom Burke) indulge in some quality screen time.

MR. & MRS. SMITH, The Americans, True Lies —the ‘married spies’ genre has definitely thrown up some bangers over the years. The latest entry in this niche canon is Steven Soderbergh’s Black Bag, starring Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett as intelligence agents George and Kathryn Woodhouse, whose relationship is tested somewhat when Kathryn is suspected of betraying her country and George is dispatched to hunt her down. Empire caught up with the pair to talk espousal and espionage.
