Looking forward to being a part of the wonderful action-packed experience. My sincere thanks to my dearest fans from all over the world for all the love and support you have been showing me throughout the year", the actor wrote in a statement.
Along with Dhanush, Netflix announced that Jessica Henwick, Wagner Moura, and Julia Butters has also joined the cast.

“The movie is a real mano a mano between those two great actors who represent two different versions of the CIA, in what it can be, and what it can do,” Anthony Russo told Deadline. “For those who were fans of Captain America: Winter Soldier, this is us moving into that territory in more of a real-world setting. That’s what this movie really means for us.”
