Ryan Reynolds and Sir Kenneth Branagh will star in Mayday, and here are early details of the new action thriller.

Any time Sir Kenneth Branaghā€™s name comes up in a news story, I like to mention Peterā€™s Friends, which was his 1992 third feature as director, and is a terrific comedy that is well worth seeking out.

Branagh has landed a new role too: he will co-star alongside Ryan Reynolds in Mayday. The tagline and synopsis are being kept under wraps, but it is described as an ā€œaction-adventure tentpoleā€. Branagh is pictured here in the popular 1999 movie Wild Wild West, which is available on DVD and Blu-ray now. A treat.

John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, the writer/directors responsible for the wonderful Game Night, will write and direct the film for Apple and Skydance, the script was finished prior to the Writerā€™s Strike.

There is no confirmed start date for production, though it is expected to be the next thing Reynolds will shoot after finishing production on Deadpool 3.
