The first trailer for Cate Blanchett and Michael Fassbender's new spy thriller Black Bag has been unveiled.

Directed by Steven Soderbergh, the upcoming film stars Blanchett and Fassbender as husband and wife intelligence agents Kathryn and George Woodhouse.

When Kathryn is suspected of betraying the nation, George faces the ultimate test – loyalty to his marriage or his country.

The trailer opens with George asking his wife where she's going, to which she mysteriously replies: "Black Bag".

We then hear George explain what it's like to be married to someone in "this business", saying: "You each know what you know and know what you'll do and never discuss certain things again."

Meanwhile, Kathryn later describes her "devotion" to her marriage as her "professional weakness".

While at one point in the trailer George tells his wife he would do "anything" for her, he's later forced to investigate her when he's told that she's suspected of stealing something "extremely valuable".

Black Bag, which is written by David Koepp, is scheduled to arrive in cinemas on March 14, 2025.
