Ryan Reynolds and Kenneth Branagh both starred in countless amazing projects, and they’re finally ready to do it by each other’s side. They’ve been cast in the upcoming action-adventure film Mayday, which hails from directors Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley.
Goldstein and Daley came up with the original pitch for this movie, which caught the attention of Skydance and Apple earlier this year. The project started gaining momentum after Reynolds expressed interest to come on board back in April, and his casting has finally been confirmed.
The plot of Mayday is still being kept under wraps, but the expectations are running high given Goldstein and Daley’s track record. They most recently found success with action-adventure comedy Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, after writing scripts for such hit comedies as Horrible Bosses and Game Night.
As for Reynolds, he most recently starred in the holiday comedy Spirted and made a cameo in Ghosted, but the upcoming superhero sequel Deadpool 3 is currently his main priority. Branagh has been pretty busy too, and he has several projects on the way this year, including Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer and the next Hercule Poirot movie A Haunting in Venice, which he also directed.
