The team-up we didn’t know we needed was Ryan Reynolds and Kenneth Branagh?! The brand new trailer for Apple’s original soviet era action comedy Mayday was released this morning. Based on the footage, it looks like this movie is bursting not only with Reynolds’ signature humor, but a surprising amount of ass-kicking by Branagh. Check out the trailer for Mayday below and catch the premiere on Sept 4th.
Mayday is “a genre-bending, action-packed buddy comedy that flips the spy thriller on its head. When hot shot U.S. Navy pilot Lieutenant Troy “Assassin” Kelly (Reynolds) is sent on a top-secret mission into Russian territory at the height of the Cold War, the operation implodes, leaving him stranded behind enemy lines. Discovered by Nikolai Ustinov (Branagh), a gruff ex-KGB agent with a penchant for American culture, Troy thinks he’s toast – but could an unlikely alliance between the two lead to Troy’s rescue, and a bond neither saw coming?”
Mayday premieres on Apple TV on September 4th
