The Russo Brothers were at the panel at San Diego Comic-Con, where STX films showcased a new 21 Bridges trailer for the action-thriller starring Chadwick Boseman. Check it out in the player below!
AVENGERS alumni, Chadwick Boseman is leading this one and 21 BRIDGES has been directed by Brian Kirk largely known for calling the shots on LUTHER and GAME FO THRONES. He is bringing to life a script penned by Adam Mervis.
The movie tells the story of a disgraced NYPD detective, played by Boseman who is given a shot at redemption. Thrust into a citywide manhunt for a cop killer, he begins to uncover a massive conspiracy that links his fellow cops to a criminal empire and must decide who he is hunting and who is actually hunting him. During the manhunt, Manhattan is completely locked down for the first time in its history — no exit or entry to the island including all 21 bridges.
Chadwick Boseman is in good company here, as the film boasts a brilliant cast. Joining him on the big screen is J.K. Simmons (Counterpart), Sienna Miller (American Sniper), Taylor Kitsch (Waco), Morocco Omari (Empire), Keith David (Night School) and Stephan James (Beale Street Could Talk).
The movie is a world away from what many Boseman fans might expect to see who loved watching him as T’Challa in BLACK PANTHER and AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR. We can’t wait to see more of this when the first trailer for the movie drops.
The Russo Brothers, who directed Boseman in INFINITY WAR, are collaborating together on producers duties with production partner Logan Coles. Mike Larocca serving as executive producer for The Russo Brothers’ AGBO banner. What do you think of the response for the original documentary?
