Michael Bay

The 1905 film "Six Underground", co-authored by Michael Bay and Netflix, revealed new casting news. According to foreign media reports, Dave Franco is discussing with the producer about starring in this film. If all goes well, he will team up with the previously determined lead actor Ryan Reynolds to co-star in the film.

Ryan Reynolds has been in Hollywood for many years and has been tepid. However, in recent years, through the popularity of the "Deadpool" series, the "mouthy" and "vulgar" screen image created by it has subverted the impression left by superheroes in the past and stood out in many superhero films. The script for Six Underground, written by Deadpool writers Paul Wicknick and Llot Rees, has a feel tailored to Ryan Reynolds. Dave Franco, on the other hand, is the brother of James Franco, and although his development in Hollywood is not as smooth as his brother's, it is also remarkable. In particular, the image of a series of supporting characters he has created is impressive.

The film was originally developed by Michael Bay and Sky Dance Pictures, after which Netflix joined the investment and production. Prior to that, Paramount, who had a long-term relationship with Michael Bay, had also been considered, but Netflix won in the end, and Netflix promised to sell copies for 125 million production costs, becoming Netflix's most expensive movie, beating "The Irishman" of 106 million. According to previous reports, the plot of the film is roughly about 6 billionaires faking their own deaths and forming an elite team to fight the subdued villains. From this point of view, this will be a film that mixes superhero movie elements such as Batman and Iron Man. Moreover, Netflix gave Michael Bay such a high investment that it was bound to meet expectations in the fireworks special effects.

According to the plan, the film will start shooting this summer and be released in 2019.
