Not easy times: Hayek, 53, recently revealed she used to struggle with self-worth
The action-comedy is a sequel to the 2017 film The Hitman’s Bodyguard. Filming began in March 2019 and was initially scheduled for release in August 2020.
It will now be shown in August 2021.
Salma’s post comes after she recently revealed her struggles with self-worth and self-love.
‘My favorite days are the days that you’re not wearing makeup, and you’re not looking in the mirror because you’re not thinking about how you look. You’re just present, and you’re just doing your thing,’ she told People last month.
‘And this is the best thing about not wearing makeup, when you’re not thinking, “How do I look without makeup? Oh, I forgot to put makeup.” When you’re just living life, and this is not your priority.’
Hayek admitted that she dealt with physical insecurities when she was younger, which she’s learned from.

Timeless beauty: She also admitted: ‘When I look at pictures of me in my 30s or in my 40s, I see myself more beautiful than I saw myself at the time’ (pictured in June, 1996)
She added: ‘When I look at pictures of me in my 30s or in my 40s, I see myself more beautiful than I saw myself at the time.
‘I used to criticize myself so much. Now when I look in the mirror and there are things that I don’t see, I think about how much I’m going to like me in 10 years.’
The Like a Boss star also revealed how her looks pigeonholed her as an actress earlier in her career.
She told Total Film: ‘Unfortunately, I never had a lot of chances to do parts where I could use a lot of the things I learned. I’ve had directors say to me, “Dumber and faster. Sound dumber and speak faster!”‘
Hayek has recently been isolating at home in London with husband François-Henri Pinault, 57, and daughter Valentina Paloma, 12.
