	Movies - Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London

Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London is the sequel to the 2003 film Agent Cody Banks
, and was released in the United States on March 12, 2004. Frankie Muniz was the only major returning star, with Hannah Spearritt now playing the love interest and Anthony Anderson as the sidekick. As the title suggests, the location had switched to London with Cody trying to recover a stolen software activating the government's mind control project.

The second film may be the last theatrical release for the fledging series. The US$23 million gross for the sequel was about half of the original, and Muniz has publicly stated that he will not do a third installment. An argument could be made that he is getting too old even if he wanted to do another: he was 18 (playing a fifteen-year-old) in the second film. (Not to be outdone, Spearritt was twenty-three playing a high schooler.)

Plot

A rogue CIA agent has stolen a top secret mind-control device and Agent Cody Banks has to go undercover in London to get it back. Posing as a student at an elite boarding school registered in the summer music program for musical prodigys to get close to his suspects, Cody has to keep the other kids from discovering his true identity while infiltrating covert hideouts, spying on his sinister target -- and going to class. With new gadgets and a wisecracking new handler, Derek, Cody has to retrieve the device before the world's leaders fall under the evil control of a diabolical villain.
