You can check out his video below:

Thurber recently spoke withย Empire Magazineย about working with theย Red Noticeย cast. “I mean, talk about charisma,” Thurber shared. “So what does happen when you get Deadpool, Wonder Woman, and Black Adam in the immediate vicinity of one another? I feel very, very fortunate. It’s a little bit like directorial cheating, having all three of them together in the same frame. Chemistry is just not a function of writing or even directing โ€“ it’s a function of casting. You either have it or you don’t. And those guys have something special.”

Inย Red Notice, Johnson’s federal agent character is on the hunt for Reynolds’ art thief. “[Dwayne plays an] FBI profiler who specializes in art crime,” Thurber explained. “He is on the hunt forย Ryan Reynolds, who plays the most wanted art thief in the world. Gal Gadot plays this mysterious figure in the art world. As the sayโ€ฆ high-jinks ensue.”

Red Notice is now streaming on Netflix.ย
