Ryan Reynolds and Kenneth Branagh to Star in Action Adventure MAYDAY at Apple From DUNGEONS & DRAGONS Directors
Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool) and Kenneth Branagh (Murder on the Orient Express) have signed on to star in the action adventure film, Mayday, which is being helmed by Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves directors Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley.
The film is being developed at Apple TV+, and it is based on an original pitch from Goldstein and Daley, who came to Skydance earlier this year with the idea, and has been developing prior to Apple’s involvement. Once Reynolds showed interest in April to join the pic, the project started gaining serious momentum and while start date is still undetermined, seems likely this could be the next thing Reynolds shoots. The logline is being kept under wraps.
Reynolds is currently filming Deadpool 3 for Marvel Studios and his Paramount pic Imaginary Friends is set to bow next year.
Branagh will be next be seen in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer opening July 21st. This September he stars in and directs A Haunting In Venice, the latest installment in his Agatha Christie trilogy for Disney, in which he reprises his role of ‘Hercule Poirot’ opposite Tina Fey, Michelle Yeoh, and Jamie Dornan.
