Arnold Schwarzenegger Is Back In Action As a Spy In 'FUBAR'
Arnold Schwarzenegger is back, baby.
The 75-year-old actor plays a CIA spy who learns his daughter is also a CIA operative.

“Everywhere I go, people ask me when I’m going to do another big action comedy like True Lies,” Arnold said. “Well, here it is.”

The thing I always marveled at was how Schwarzenegger could be funny while still kicking ass… that’s why I wanted FUBAR to be a hysterical, CIA-spy comedy mixed with heart-stopping action! And it is all that — and more. I’d love to elaborate with more details, but sorry, it’s classified.”
His daughter is played by Monica Barbaro who was most recently in Top Gun: Maverick alongside Tom Cruise.
“I’ve learned a ton from working with my dad,” Monica‘s character says. “How he leads the team. How he keeps his cool. How to slit a man’s throat vertically so he bleeds out faster.”
Arnold is also featured in a three-part documentary, Arnold, that will be released on Netflix later this month.
FUBAR premieres on Netflix on May 25.
