The Russo Brothers are the reigning kings of Hollywood, and they're back with a bang! After delivering the blockbuster hits, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, they've been making waves across various streaming platforms with their latest projects. The Gray Man, starring Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans, and Ana de Armas, made a splash on Netflix as the costliest movie ever produced by the streaming giant. Now, the Russos are all set to rule Amazon Prime Video with their newest creation, Citadel - a spy thriller that promises to be a global event like no other!
Citadel is a groundbreaking series that's set to take the world by storm. The show boasts of big stars, lavish locations, high-octane action, high-tech toys, and a gripping plot filled with twists and turns. What's more, Amazon Prime Video is experimenting with a new strategy for creating global franchises, by putting multiple spin-offs of the show in development, to be produced in the film industries of different countries. This ensures that the show reaches a much larger audience in foreign markets and creates a strong cultural footing. For viewers in the States, it offers an extra layer and flavor, making it a must-watch for everyone!
The first official trailer for Citadel was released online on March 6, 2023, and boy does it pack a punch! With narration by Richard Madden, in a beat similar to Jason Bourne, the trailer takes us on a journey of espionage and global intrigue. It starts with the two lead characters, played by Madden and Priyanka Chopra Jonas, who've lost their memories following an accident. As they team up to find the truth about what happened to them, they discover they were spies for an international espionage organization, courtesy of Stanley Tucci, who tells them all about Citadel. What follows is a global controversy, filled with stylish action and espionage, exotic locations, and innovative action set pieces - from car chases to Parkour in snow-capped mountains, all edited and synced perfectly to 'Sweet Dreams' by Eurythmics.
The series is set to release on Amazon Prime Video on April 28, 2023, with the first two episodes of the six-part series. The rest of the episodes will be released in the subsequent weeks, trying to build on the word of mouth and momentum of the show to bring in more viewers. It will compete directly with Disney's new Peter Pan and Wendy remake from David Lowery on their own streaming platform, making it a must-watch for fans of espionage and global intrigue.
Citadel features an all-star cast with some of the biggest names working in film and television today. Richard Madden and Priyanka Chopra Jonas play the lead roles of special agents, with Stanley Tucci in a pivotal supporting role. The show promises to be a wild ride, with complex characters, thrilling action, and a gripping storyline that will keep you on the edge of your seat! So, mark your calendars for April 28, 2023, and get ready to witness the next big thing in the world of entertainment!
