Apple Original Films hosted the world premiere of Mayday at AMC Lincoln Square in New York, with stars Ryan Reynolds and Kenneth Branagh celebrating the new buddy action comedy alongside cast members Marcin Dorocinski, Maria Bakalova and David Morse, and filmmakers John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein.
Premiering globally on Apple TV September 4, 2026, Mayday stars Reynolds as U.S. Navy pilot Lieutenant Troy “Assassin” Kelly, whose top-secret Cold War mission leaves him stranded behind enemy lines. There he encounters Nikolai Ustinov (Branagh), a gruff former KGB agent, setting the unlikely pair on an action-packed adventure that turns the traditional spy thriller on its head.
