Ryan Reynolds and Kenneth Branagh chat to Hollywood First Look about their new 80s action comedy, Mayday.
In this exclusive interview, they share:
Stephen King inspiration
Facial hair as a way to get into character
What they learned about each other through the making of the film
Ryan reuniting with waiting costar and Mayday director John Francis Daley
More about Mayday:
Ryan Reynolds and Kenneth Branagh team up in “Mayday,” a genre-bending, action-packed buddy comedy that flips the spy thriller on its head. When hotshot 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?
