Stanley Tucci on Citadel’s Twists and Turns and His Favorite Thing to Cook
14When the Russo Brothers were tasked with creating a collaborative show that would utilize creative talent from all over the world, Prime Video’s new spy series, Citadel, was their brainchild. Not only did the team behind this show set out to do something wholly unique, they wanted it to be as entertaining as possible, with cinematic scale and action, and an ensemble cast, including Academy Award-nominee, Stanley Tucci. While promoting the series premiere, Collider’s Steve Weintraub spoke with Tucci about being a part of “something that’s never been done before.”
Citadel is an ambitious series about a global intelligence agency that works to protect the world’s security. Because the writers’ room worked with both Italy and India’s teams with their Citadel installments, Tucci says the material was in “constant flux,” and that the episodes will keep viewers on their toes with all of its twists and turns. In the series, Tucci plays Bernard Orlick, the supplier of state-of-the-art technology for stars Richard Madden and Priyanka Chopra Jonas. In fact, it’s Tucci’s character who enlists the help of Madden’s Mason Kane to rejoin the fight against the nefarious and powerful Manticore.
Of the process behind the scenes, Tucci tells Weintraub it was “complicated” the way details changed while filming in order to keep the interconnected series in sync, but that the final product is amazing. During their interview, which you can watch in the video above or read below, the actor also discusses the “staggering” action set pieces his co-stars kick off the series with, and says he believes this new worldwide franchise is “going to introduce people to so many different actors, so many different directors all over the world.” Weintraub also asks about his other Russo Brothers’ team-up on The Electric State, his favorite food to cook, and more.
