Of course, the Russos know what a global hit tastes like: they’re responsible for some of Marvel’s most successful movies, including ‘Avengers: Endgame’ (one of the highest-grossing movies in movie history), and they also have Parallel plans within the Netflix movie catalog thanks to two other action franchises, ‘The Invisible Agent’ starring Ryan Gosling and ‘Tyler Rake’ with Chris Hemsworth. While on that side we await the arrival of ‘The Invisible Agent 2’ and ‘Tyler Rake 2’, the Russo’s are also beginning to leave their mark on Amazon Prime Video with this ‘Citadel’, which is one of the most anticipated series of 2023.
As they say from the platform, ‘Citadel’ is the debut of a global franchise. Each series in the franchise will be created, produced and shot in a specific region, and starring great local talent.. Series in Italy with Matilda De Angelis and in India with Varun Dhawan and Samantha Ruth Prabhu are already underway. For now, we review everything we know about the first installment, set on British soil.

The story is set 8 years after the fall of Citadel, an independent global spy agency tasked with ensuring the safety of humanity. The organization was destroyed by agents of Manticore, a powerful crime syndicate that pulls the world’s strings from the shadows and endangers global stability.
In the first series ‘Citadel’, we follow elite agents Mason Kane (Madden) and Nadia Sinh (Chopra Jonas), who escaped with their lives after the fall of the Citadel but lost their memories in the process. Years later both have built new lives and identities in different places, completely unaware of their previous life. However, the past knocks on his door again. An old colleague of Mason tracks him down because he needs his help to take down the Manticore, which is still operational and more dangerous than ever. To do this, Mason will look for his old partner and they will launch into an adrenaline-pumping mission as they rebuild a long-forgotten love relationship.
