Priyanka Chopra Jonas & Richard Madden on Citadel’s Cinematic Quality & Staging Movie Sized Action

Today, Prime Video is dropping the first two episodes of the world’s first global franchise television series, Citadel. From executive producers Joe and Anthony Russo, the spy thriller series stars Richard Madden (Game of Thrones) and Priyanka Chopra Jonas (Quantico) who spoke with Collider’s Steve Weintraub about the show’s massive action set pieces, how the worlds interconnect, and more.

Citadel begins eight years after the titular global intelligence agency is betrayed by one of its own members in favor of an organization called Manticore. With Citadel’s security breached, two agents, Mason Kane (Madden) and Nadia Sinh (Chopra Jonas), have their minds wiped and are given secret identities. Now, when Kane runs into an old colleague and friend, Bernard Orlick, played by Stanley Tucci, he agrees to help stop Manticore’s move to take control of the world’s security, but he’ll have to reactivate fellow operative, Nadia, first.

With two other installments in the pipeline, both the Italian and Indian Citadel, Madden and Chopra Jonas tease where else in the world they want to film and discuss their favorite of the six episodes, though Madden clarifies that “every episode has a big chunk of the journey.” The series’ main focus is the storytelling, but given the espionage nature of the material, Citadel features cinematic action set pieces right out of the gate that Madden attributes to the Russo’s, adding, “...they can do this better than anyone.” For all of this and more, check out the interview in the player above, or you can read the full transcript below.
