Was it just the specific jot down of story?
Was it the character?
What intrigued you about this?
Eddie Redmayne and Lashana Lynch star as an assassin and a spy locked in a cat-and-mouse game.
LYNCH: That is very, very true.
Thank you so much for watching that.

I really appreciate that youve been with me for a long time.
Everything genuinely happens for a reason.
Nothing happens before or after its time.

I get to carry that experience around for the rest of my career now.
So, I try not to be tainted by things that happen because its all a collective experience.
That was really important.
Eddie has an incredible eye when it comes to VFX and the grade.
I love that moment when youre both on either side of the same wall, bathed in different colors.
What was that moment like to shoot?

Its the hot and cold, the masculine and the feminine.
They work really, really nicely together.
And that was much harder to shoot than youd think.
It took a while, but its such an iconic moment in the show now.
We had such an incredible team to do that.
You dont see women do that unless theyre mad at something and hit someone with something.
Here, we really got to live with her in her rage.
Very violent, but powerful.
Eddie Redmayne’s Jackal goes full cold-blooded killer, leaving no room for sympathy or survivors.
What do you want to do next?
LYNCH: Exactly that.
And then, this came, and now Im back to doing stunts.
I enjoy shifting in and around what teaches me something through a project.
Here, Ive learned that I have to produce.
Ive got too much to say.
Outside of that, I definitely have to do something light.
I definitely need to do something easy, chill and light.
The Jackal is a highly effective assassin that deals strictly in dangerous hits for large payouts.
The Day of the Jackalis available to stream on Peacock.
