Johnny English Reborn is a 2011 British spy comedy film parodying the James Bond secret agent genre. The film is the sequel to Johnny English , and stars Rowan Atkinson reprising his role as the title character and directed by Oliver Parker. The film has a slightly darker tone than the previous film, but retains Atkinson's signature humour. Like its predecessor, it was met with mixed reviews, but has grossed a total of $160,078,586 worldwide. Eight years after the events of the first film, Johnny English is learning martial arts in Tibet as penance for an earlier disastrous mission in... Mozambique 5 years prior. His Tibetan guru and mentor, Ting Wang, is actually an MI7 sleeper agent: their employers have requested Johnny's services. Johnny returns to MI7's London headquarters and is assigned by new boss "Pegasus" to stop a plot to assassinate the Chinese premier during scheduled talks with the Prime Minister. During the briefing, English accidentally knocks Pegasus's cat, Philby, out of a window and later sits on it.
