Eddie Redmayne is trading in his wand for something a little more… explosive! 🎇
The 42-year-old Fantastic Beasts star is ditching magical creatures for some serious assassin vibes in The Day of the Jackal, coming to a screen near you (Peacock, to be exact) on November 14. So, get your popcorn, and prepare for Redmayne to give you the death stare… literally.
Here’s the juicy deets: Redmayne plays the Jackal, a slick, ruthless assassin who’s basically the UberEats of the hitman world—he’ll take out whoever you want, as long as you’ve got the cash. 💸💀 But don’t think he’s got it easy. Oh no, just when he’s thinking, “I’m the king of the killer world,” along comes a no-nonsense British intelligence officer, played by Lashana Lynch, who’s about to throw a major wrench in his assassin gig. Imagine James Bond, but she’s not here to play—she’s here to take him down. 🚨
Cue the ultimate game of Europe’s Got Assassins as these two run around the continent like they’re in the most intense game of tag ever. But instead of “you’re it,” it’s more like, “you’re dead.” 🏃♂️💥💣
Joining in on the chaos are Money Heist star Úrsula Corberó and Ben Hall, because no global showdown is complete without a few extra wildcards.
So buckle up for action, destruction, and maybe some polite British insults as Redmayne shows off his deadly side. Watch the trailer and prepare yourself for a wild ride! 🎬🔥
