The new trailer for Chadwick Boseman‘s upcoming 21 Bridges film has premiered at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con event. Produced by the Russo Brothers and directed by Brian Kirk, the film will see Boseman as a cop who murders cop-killers. The footage above showcases Boseman in New York arriving on a crime scene with eight fatally wounded cops. When it’s implied the situation may have been a set-up, Boseman orders the island of Manhattan be shut down in order for him to catch them.
In a recent discussion with ComicBook, Boseman spoke about what attracted him to the film:
“Several things, I would say that it was a combination of being able to have a fast-paced action movie,” Boseman said. “When I read the script, I could tell that this was gonna be a ride. It’s a ride when you watch it. At the same time, it took me back to my theater days where you have the fast-paced language…I lived in New York for years. I feel like this movie sort of captured that sort of things.”
In addition to Boseman, the upcoming movie will star the likes of Sienna Miller, J.K. Simmons, Stephan James, and more. 21 Bridges arrive in theaters September 27.
