Earlier this week, Prime Video dropped the official trailer for Citadel. With its action, glamorous star cast, and globetrotting visuals, the Citadel trailer left fans in awe. The big-budget spy-thriller series is executive produced by Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame directors Joe and Anthony Russo.
Prime Video has now released a new clip featuring Richard Madden and Priyanka Chopra Jonas. In the one-and-a-half minute clip, Mason Kane (Madden) attempts to explain to Nadia Sinh (Priyanka) about her history as a spy, and all the missions that she has handled in her career. Nadia is perplexed when Mason tells her, “They wiped your memory,” and that she formerly worked for the secret organisation Citadel.
During an interview with Amazon Studios head Jennifer Salke at the South by Southwest Film Festival (SXSW) 2023, Priyanka said that it was only on Citadel that she received equal pay for the first time in her career. She said, “I might get into trouble for saying this, depends on who’s watching. I’ve been working in the entertainment industry for now 22 years, and I have done almost 70-plus features and two TV shows. But when I did Citadel, it was the first time in my career that I had pay parity. I’m laughing about this, but it’s kind of nuts.”
The actor added, “I put in the same amount of investment and work, but I get paid much less. But the ease with which Amazon Studios said, ‘That’s what you deserve, you are co-leads, that’s just fair,’ and I was like, ‘You’re right, it’s fair.’”
Citadel is all set to drop on Prime Video on April 28. The series also stars Stanley Tucci, Lesley Manville as Dahlia Archer, Osy Ikhile as Carter Spence and Ashleigh Cummings as Abby Conroy.
