Bobby, 48, and Melissa, 47, have previously worked together on the 2015 comedy hit 'Spy' and he will return to the on screen friendship playing Carol's ex-boyfriend who comes back into her life.
Bobby has had a very successful few years, with numerous films being made in 2017.

'Super Intelligence' will also feature James Corden and although the British TV personality has become famous for hosting 'The Late Late Show' in recent years he is still maintaining his acting career and most recently appeared in the 'Peter Rabbit' and 'Ocean's 8' movies.
