Austin Butler threw himself so fully into his Oscar-nominated performance as Elvis that his c🧸o-star Tom Hanks (who played Elvis' manager, Colonel Tom Parker) was concerned about his mental health aft🃏er the movie – and offered him his next role to keep him busy.
"You have immersed yourself so deeply in Elvis that, for your mental health, it would be wise to go straight into something else," Hanks reportedly told Butler (via ). "If you just jump off the train, you might have emotional whiplash... And, you ✃know, I’ve got this thing I’m producing."
That "thing" is Masters of the Air, a new Second World War drama series coming to Apple TV Plus. Made in collaboration with Hanks' and Steven Spielberg's production companies, the limited series is a sequel to the duo's previous small-screen offerings: 2001's Band of Brothers and 2010's The Pacific. Each of the previous series had large ensemble casts, and Masters of the Air is no different – Barry Keoghan, Callum Turner, and Fionn O'Shea are𓆏 among the actors joining Butler as members of the 100th Bombardment Group of the US Air Force.
Butler is also set to star in sci-fi sequel Dune: Part Two, which is due to hit the big screen in November. He plays Feyd-Rautha, one of the sequel's antagonists, in a performance that his co-star Stephen McKinley-Henderson described as "cജhil💜ling."
Masters of the Air doesn't have a release date yet, but the series is set to hit Apple TV Plus later this year. For more viewing inspiration, fill out your watch list with our picks of the other 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Apple TV Plus shows.
