Citadel trailer depicts new spy drama from Russo Brothers

By Dan Girolamo March 7, 2023 7:34AM

Prime Video released the first trailer for the new spy drama series, Citadel, which stems from executive producers Anthony and Joe Russo (Avengers: Endgame).

Richard Madden (Eternals) stars as Mason Kane, an elite spy who used to work for an independent global spy agency called Citadel. The organization was destroyed eight years prior by a syndicate named Manticore. Kane and fellow agent Nadia Sinh (The Matrix Resurrections’ Priyanka Chopra Jonas) had their memories wiped out when Citadel fell, and they’ve each built new lives under new identities.

In the present day, Mason is recruited by his former colleague, Bernard Orlick (Inside Man’s Stanley Tucci), to join him in the fight against Manticore. Mason must find Nadia and remind her of their past lives together to stop Manticore and protect the world. As Orlick states in the trailer, “You need to remember the past to save the future.”

The rest of the ensemble features Lesley Manville (Phantom Thread) as Dahlia Archer, Osy Ikhile (Black Mirror) as Carter Spence, Ashleigh Cummings (NOS4A2) as Abby Conroy, Roland Møller (Skyscraper) as Anders Silje and Davik Silje, and Caoilinn Springall (The Midnight Sky) as Hendrix Conroy.

Citadel is the start of a global franchise available in 240 countries and territories worldwide. In addition to the main series with Madden and Chopra Jonas, there will be spinoff series with interconnected stories around the globe. There are series underway in both Italy and India starring Matilda De Angelis (Leonardo), Varun Dhawan (Bhediya), and Samantha Ruth Prabhu (The Family Man).

Citadel is created by Josh Appelbaum (Without Remorse) and Bryan Oh (Homecoming). David Weil (Invasion) serves as the showrunner, while the Russo Brothers will executive produce.

The first season of Citadel consists of six episodes, with two episodes premiering April 28 on Prime Video, and one episode rolling out weekly through May 26.

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel returns in new season 4 trailer

Rachel Brosnahan opens her arms onstage in The Marvelous Mrs. Maise.

It's been over two years since Miriam "Midge" Maisel last took the stage in Amazon Prime's The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. But the wait is almost over as a new trailer reveals more about the upcoming fourth season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. And with it comes a date for the season premiere: Friday, February 18. In a somewhat surprising move, Amazon won't be dropping the new season all at once. Instead, two new episodes will be released each week for four weeks.

In the new trailer, some time has passed since Midge was unceremoniously dropped from a comedy tour. Fortunately, the titular heroine has bounced back with a new comedy gig that allows her far more creative freedom than she ever had before. Midge has never been afraid of speaking her mind, and now she can get away with it. But as the '60s begin, Midge's career may once again upset the delicate relationships she has with her friends and family.

the tick amazon premiere date

Amazon has released a new trailer for its upcoming adaptation of The Tick, which will be added to the company's Prime Video service next month. In-keeping with previous takes on the character, the clip delivers both well-crafted gags and some visually impressive scenes of super-heroism.

Created in 1986 as the mascot for a newsletter distributed by a chain of comic book stores in the Boston area, The Tick has been adapted for television several times over. Children of the 1990s will likely remember the Fox Kids animated series that starred the character, but Patrick Warburton also took on the role for a short-lived live-action sitcom that aired in 2001.

Sacha Baron Cohen is the brother of the world's greatest spy in the red-band trailer for The Brothers Grimsby

the brothers grimsby trailer

Comedic actor Sacha Baron Cohen has played everything from a flamboyant fashion expert to an African dictator, and earned himself an Academy Award nomination along the way. His next film pairs him up with tough guy actor Mark Strong for an odd-couple adventure that has him playing with the tropes of the super-spy movie genre.

Sony Pictures released the first, red-band trailer for The Brothers Grimsby this week, and while it opens with a sequence that would be fitting in any good spy movie, it finishes with a scene that is very much, well ... Sacha Baron Cohen. As with any red-band previews, you'll want to keep in mind that it could fall under the NSFW banner before watching it.
