What film stars film stars Kate McKinnon as a character named Morgan Freeman?

The film starring Kate McKinnon as Morgan Freeman is The Spy Who Dumped Me. McKinnon plays Morgan Freeman, the outspoken best friend and roommate of Audrey, portrayed by Mila Kunis.

Released in 2018, the film is an action-comedy directed by Susanna Fogel and co-written by Fogel and David Iserson. Its story begins when Audrey learns that her former boyfriend, Drew, is actually a CIA agent involved in an international conspiracy. After Drew reappears and is killed, Audrey and Morgan become targets and are drawn into the dangerous spy world.

The title refers to Audrey being abandoned by Drew, although the movie quickly expands beyond a breakup story into a globe-spanning chase through cities including Vienna, Paris, Prague, and Berlin. Morgan’s surname is also a deliberate joke, since it matches the name of actor Morgan Freeman; the character is not played by him.

A common mix-up is confusing this film with other female-led spy comedies such as Spy or The Heat. The Spy Who Dumped Me specifically pairs Kunis and McKinnon as best friends caught in espionage.
