"Mr. EX" Film Trailer Unveiled

Egyptian actor and screenwriter Ahmed Fahmy shared Thursday the official trailer for his upcoming film "Mr. EX".

It reunites Fahmy with his wife, actress Hannah El Zahed for the third time. The married duo worked together on the 2019 TV series “El Wad Sayed El Shahat ” and the 2021 play “Gawaza Maafrata”.

The cast also stars Bayoumi Fouad, Mahmoud Hafez, Osos, and others. It will also feature several guest appearances including Reem Moustafa, Akram Hosny, Amr Youssef, and Mai Omar.

Ahmed Abdel Wahab directed the film from a script he co-wrote alongside Amgad Elsharqawy.

"Mr. EX" is set to participate in the Eid al-Adha movie marathon.

Fahmy, born on November 6, 1980, graduated with a degree in political science and economics.

He began his acting career during his college years through an independent film group "Tamr Hendy", which produced many satirical films, among the most famous "Regal la Ta3rif Elmostaheel" a parody of the Egyptian movie "Eltareeq Ila Ilat" which quickly spread on the internet and was screened in many local cafes.

The parody had drawn the interest of writer Mohamed Hefzy, who was making the transition into movie production, at the time.

After meeting with Fahmy, Hefzy decided to produce his work "Affiche we Tashbeeh," a TV series that made fun of various Egyptian films in each episode. Later on, Hefzy produced Fahmy's film "Waraqit Shafra", which Fahmy wrote and starred in, along with his Tamr Hendy co-stars and long-time friends Hisham Maged and Chico.

The trio won the Critic's choice award in 2003 for Best New Actors. Fahmy is also known for writing the script of "Keda Reda" starring Ahmed Helmy, as well as "Sameer, Shaheer, & Baheer" in which the Tamr Hendy trio co-starred.
