Trailer Highlights
The trailer began on a humorous note, when Reynolds discovers himself on a bed after suffering a crash from the plane. “You are now crossing Soviet airspace,” a stern voice is heard at the beginning of the trailer. Cut to Reynolds’ Kelly tied to a bed. “Oh good, you have not died,” says Branagh’s Nikolai. “Who are you?”, asks Reynolds, adding “Why am I tied to the bed?” Nikolai replies, “So you would not move during the surgery.” “Surgery, what surgery”, asks Kelly. “In your leg, I repaired an artery,” says Nikolai. “You screamed a lot, but that is my fault, because I don’t have proper anesthesia,” he admits. The trailer was full of high octane action scenes which also include a fight scene in a commercial plane. Ryan Reynolds shared the trailer on his Instagram handle.
