It's not an overstatement to say that Netflix original movies are slowly taking over the pop culture world. Between the viral success of thrillers like Bird Box and Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, the award season acclaim of Roma, and the streaming platform's almost-singlehanded revival of the modern rom-com, Netflix has slowly but surely found a place among the biggest content creators in the entertainment industry. Its next step? Big name, big budget films — such as the upcoming 6 Underground.
Directed by action film veteran Michael Bay (best known as the guy behind the Transformers franchise) and starring everyone's favourite jokester, Ryan Reynolds, the movie follows a group of six billionaires who decide to leave their lives of luxury behind and tackle injustice as vigilantes. According to a Deadline report, the $150 million action film is intended to launch a franchise. The cast includes actors who hail from several different countries on three different continents, from award winners to relative unknowns.
