Ryan Reynolds’ Action Comedy Mayday Gets First Look and Apple TV+ Release Date

-

Apple TV+ has officially revealed the first look and release date for Ryan Reynolds’ new action movie Mayday, and fans won’t have to wait too long. The action-packed buddy comedy will premiere globally on Apple TV+ on September 4, 2026.

The film pairs Ryan Reynolds with Kenneth Branagh in a surprising and entertaining team-up that blends spy thrills, comedy, and adventure against a Cold War backdrop.

What Is Mayday About?

Mayday tells the story of Lieutenant Troy “Assassin” Kelly, a confident U.S. Navy pilot played by Ryan Reynolds. During a top-secret mission deep inside Russian territory, the operation goes wrong, leaving Troy stranded behind enemy lines.

His situation becomes even more dangerous when he is discovered by Nikolai Ustinov, a tough former KGB agent played by Kenneth Branagh. Expecting the worst, Troy is shocked when the two form an unexpected alliance. Together, they must work toward escape while developing a bond neither of them anticipated.

Ryan Reynolds’ Action Comedy Mayday Gets First Look and Apple TV+ Release Date

Official Synopsis (Rewritten):
A daring U.S. Navy pilot is left trapped in enemy territory during the Cold War. When an unlikely friendship forms with a former KGB agent, survival depends on trust, teamwork, and courage.

Strong Cast and Creative Team

Alongside Reynolds and Branagh, Mayday features a talented supporting cast, including:

The film is written and directed by John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, the duo behind Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. Their involvement hints at a smart mix of humor, action, and character-driven storytelling.

The movie is produced by Skydance Media and Maximum Effort, Ryan Reynolds’ production company, with several experienced producers and executive producers attached.

Why Mayday Is Skipping Theaters

Despite its star power and big-budget feel, Mayday will release exclusively on Apple TV+, skipping a traditional theatrical run. This move allows global audiences to stream the film instantly and highlights Apple TV+’s growing investment in major action movies.

Seeing Ryan Reynolds’ fast-talking humor clash with Kenneth Branagh’s refined and commanding presence is expected to be one of the film’s biggest highlights.

Kenneth Branagh Brings Comedy Experience

While Kenneth Branagh is best known for Shakespeare adaptations and dramatic roles, he has plenty of comedy experience. From his lighter performances in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets to his witty portrayal of Poirot, Branagh has proven he can balance humor with depth.

His role in Mayday is expected to perfectly counter Ryan Reynolds’ sarcasm and energy.
