At a recent global press conference, also attended by PTI, Joe Russo described Citadel as a unique television event."The concept was an idea that Jen Salke (Amazon Studios head Jennifer Salke) presented to us a few years ago. The notion of telling a story that could be interwoven throughout the world. It would have a flagship show and then regional shows, written, produced and directed by regional talent that could interweave with the flagship show," the Avengers: Endgame filmmaker said.His brother Anthony Russo said Salke's idea was "ambitious, wide-ranging and so global in its nature".

"As storytellers, we really love the engagement of the global film community. So, it's an incredible opportunity. We went to work trying to find the right story that could sort of fulfil that ambition and we've had amazing collaborators in order to find that." In the show, Madden and Chopra Jonas play Mason Kane and Nadia Sinh. They are part of the independent global spy agency Citadel, which is tasked to uphold the safety and security of all people. But Citadel was destroyed by operatives of Manticore, a powerful syndicate manipulating the world from the shadows. With Citadel's fall, the two elite agents had their memories wiped as they narrowly escaped with their lives. They've remained hidden ever since, building new lives under new identities, unaware of their pasts. Until one night, when Mason is tracked down by his former Citadel colleague, Bernard Orlick (Tucci), who desperately needs his help to prevent Manticore from establishing a new world order. Priyanka Chopra Enjoys Her New Ride On The Sets Of Citadel (View Pic).
