Netflix’s 2025 lineup is rewriting the rulebook on what a streaming giant should be—delivering everything from spine-chilling reality to laugh-out-loud comedies, jaw-dropping documentaries, and mind-bending fiction. With a buffet of binge-worthy brilliance across every genre, the platform is pulling out all the stops.

But among this dazzling content parade, loyal Netflix bingers are asking: is there a film featuring the dynamic duo Ryan Reynolds and Salma Hayek tucked somewhere in its sprawling library?

Ryan Reynolds and Salma Hayek brought the fireworks in The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard (2021), a wild ride that cashed in $70 million worldwide. Missed it on Netflix? Oops—too late! It has packed its bags and left the platform. But do not worry, action-comedy lovers—Amazon Prime Video has your back, and you can still rent or buy it on Apple TV, Google Play, or Vudu. Bonus tip: keep an eye on Paramount+ or Star+ for surprise appearances!

Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard is a fast-paced action comedy directed by Patrick Hughes and released on June 16, 2021. It is a sequel to the 2017 success, bringing back Salma Hayek, Ryan Reynolds, and Samuel L. Jackson along with Antonio Banderas and Morgan Freeman. A film that portrayed, a villain's plan to create devastation across Europe must be stopped by the chaotic trio. Despite strong casting, the film received negative reviews and underperformed at the box office. Adding to the behind-the-scenes buzz, Reynolds even stated that Hayek landed a hit on him during filming.

Though Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard fell short at the box office, Ryan Reynolds and Salma Hayek’s electric onscreen chemistry stole the spotlight.

Ryan Reynolds and Salma Hayek are gifted with flawless comedic instincts, but a behind-the-scenes blooper takes the cake. During a wild restaurant scene, Hayek accidentally smacked Reynolds mid-take, knocking his glasses off in a YouTube behind-the-scenes video. His stunned face? Comedy gold. Even better—Hayek immediately blamed someone else with perfect sass. The mix of real pain, quick improvising, and their electric chemistry turns a blooper into one of the funniest moments off-camera.

During a brief on-set mishap, Salma Hayek and Ryan Reynolds share a playful exchange, their camaraderie evident in the laughter that follows. As filming resumed, Hayek chuckled cautiously, clearly anxious not to injure Reynolds again, while he softly responded. Despite Reynolds' sharp comedic instincts occasionally making his team reconsider their life choices, the duo’s chemistry remains unshaken. Although Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard is currently unavailable on Netflix, it is still accessible on select streaming services—catch it before access vanishes.
