Eddie Murphy to Star as Retired Superspy in 'Blue Falcon'

Eddie Murphy is set to star in a new action-comedy titled 'Blue Falcon,' where he plays a retired superspy attending the destination wedding of his estranged son, only to encounter his archrival. The film, scripted by Chad St. John, is described as a two-hander and is produced by Sony Pictures alongside Murphy's own production company. This project marks a departure from Murphy's recent roles in sequels, as 'Blue Falcon' presents an original storyline. Additionally, Murphy is expected to reprise his role as Donkey in an upcoming Shrek chapter and is in talks for a biopic about George Clinton. The production team includes notable names from Davis Films and Syndicate Entertainment. Murphy's recent filmography includes the Netflix sequel 'Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F.'
