The new trailer for The Independent sees Brian Cox and Jodie Turner-Smith unravelling a political conspiracy that may have ramifications for the U.S. Presidential Election. The drama is also supported by Ann Dowd and John Cena, who is stepping up to a more serious role.
The pro-wrestler turned actor has thus far starred in a number of action-oriented roles and comedies. Fresh off playing Jakob Toretto in the Fast & Furious franchise, Cena has also led the Peacemaker series for HBO. It will be interesting to see what he brings to the part of an aspiring presidential candidate.
