Halle Berry and Mark Wahlberg star in the action-packed comedy “The Union,” released a trailer today. The two characters were high school classmates and reunite many years later to embark on a secret mission.
Netflix unveiled the trailer for the action comedy “The Union” on the 27th, featuring 53-year-old American actor Mark Wahlberg as “Mike,” a down-to-earth construction worker from New Jersey. Mike finds himself involved in international espionage with his high school ex-lover.
In the trailer, 57-year-old actress Halle Berry plays “Roxanne,” Mike’s former high school sweetheart. One day, Roxanne unexpectedly shows up at a bar where Mike is, and just when things seem to be heading in a romantic direction, she deceives and kidnaps him, taking him to London to recruit his help in completing a perilous American intelligence mission. This thrusts him into the world of top spies and secret agents, shattering his peaceful blue-collar life.
The story unfolds as someone steals the list of all American spy identities, requiring the unknown soldier Mike to retrieve the list. From then on, Mike joins the training with “The Union” and fights alongside Roxanne. In a world filled with spy battles and thrilling car chases, Mike and Roxanne spark a new chemistry.
According to Collider, the comedic performances of Berry and Wahlberg in “The Union” are a major draw for audiences. Their excellent collaboration is evident even from the trailer.
Director Julian Farino remarked, “The relationship between Roxanne and Mike will determine the course of this film. For me, even in the action scenes of the movie, it’s always about blending our characters with emotional outbursts, fun, and secret activities.” Wahlberg not only stars in the film but also serves as an executive producer.
“The Union” is set to premiere on Netflix on August 16th.
