As DNH previously reported, much to the excitement of his local fans, Ryan Reynolds of Deadpool fame has been spending the last couple of weeks in Budapest filming his next movie titled Mayday.

According to IMDb, the film is already in post-production, but the plot and most of the cast are still top secret. What we do know so far is that it will be an action film, set sometime in the Cold War era. The film has been in production since March: filming began in Montreal and San Diego, with the Hungarian leg of the shoot being the final stage of the process.

The film is written and directed by John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, who also worked together on the hit films Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves and Spider-Man: Homecoming. Besides Reynolds, Kenneth Branagh and Maria Bakalova are set to star in the main roles in the historical movie.

Ryan Reynolds was accompanied by his actress wife Blake Lively and their four children, and fortunately, the actor seems to have enjoyed his time in the country during the shoot. Reynolds, who has a famously good sense of humour among Hollywood stars, posted an Instagram story about Budapest, praising the city.

He posed for a selfie in front of the Museum of Fine Arts and posted the picture with the playful caption:

“Loved every second working in Budapest. Many call it the ‘Hawaii of Central Europe’ and even though nobody calls it that, it’s warm, and beautiful and endlessly fascinating.”
