Past and Present
The trailer for the spy thriller starts off with a cryptic scene, featuring Mason Kane (played by Richard Madden) and Nadia Sinh (played by Priyanka Chopra Jonas), who meet on a train. Mason questions if Nadia has ever felt like she belonged somewhere else, and if she remembers seeing him before. He reveals that they share a forgotten past, which includes being on a train that exploded. The trailer shows fragments of Mason’s own recollection of that fateful day, while Nadia’s memory remains hazy.
Mason tests Nadia’s spy skills by throwing a knife at her, which she narrowly dodges. In response, Nadia picks up a knife and aims it at Mason, both fighting for the chance to uncover their past. As they fend off an attacker, Nadia admits to having seen Mason before, but only in a dream.
The trailer sets the stage for an intriguing plot, filled with suspense and action, as Mason and Nadia navigate their shared past and attempt to uncover the truth behind their forgotten memories. Fans can look forward to an enthralling spy thriller with Citadel.
What is Citadel
The trailer for Citadel continues to reveal more about the plot and characters. We learn that Citadel is a spy agency without allegiance to any particular country. Through a narration by Stanley Tucci as spymaster Bernard Orlick, we discover that Citadel was betrayed by one of their own eight years ago, leading to their memory wipe. The agency now needs the help of former agents Mason and Nadia to take down a new villain seeking to establish a new world order.
However, there is a sense of distrust as Mason and Nadia’s motivations remain unclear. Nadia has a secret she cannot reveal to Bernard, adding to the intrigue. Amidst the action-packed scenes of gunfire, car chases, and forest battles, the trailer hints at a romantic history between Mason and Nadia before their memories were wiped.
The trailer tantalizes viewers with the promise of a thrilling spy series filled with mystery and action, and a plot that keeps you guessing until the end. Fans can look forward to seeing how Mason and Nadia’s involvement with Citadel will play out, and if they can overcome their lack of memories to save the world.
What to Make of it?
The trailer concludes with intense action scenes showcasing gun battles and fights in the snowy mountains. As the plot builds up, it becomes evident that Mason and Nadia’s romantic relationship might hold the key to their lost memories. In the end, the trailer leaves us with a cliffhanger, with Mason jumping off a roof to protect himself from an unknown threat.
With the Russo Brothers’ reputation, viewers can expect an impressive series from the Prime Video original. The series boasts an all-star cast, including the talented Priyanka Chopra Jonas. It’s worth noting that the series also represents a step forward for pay parity in the industry, as Priyanka was paid equally to her male co-star, Richard Madden.
Fans can catch the weekly release of Citadel exclusively on Prime Video.
