Netflix is set to ignite screens this August with The Union, a thrilling spy film showcasing the explosive chemistry between Hollywood stars Halle Berry and Mark Wahlberg. The first trailer offers a glimpse into the action-packed narrative directed by Julian Farino. In The Union, Wahlberg portrays Mike, a contented construction worker leading a quiet life in New Jersey until his former flame Roxanne, played by Berry, reappears after 25 years.

Described as a "blue-collar James Bond" by Wahlberg himself in an interview obtained by People magazine, his character is thrust into a world of espionage, high-speed car chases, and international intrigue alongside Roxanne. The film promises a blend of humour, action, and intense chemistry between the lead actors. "I've always been a huge fan of her and an admirer of her work. Doing anything with Halle is very easy but also an absolute joy," Wahlberg expressed about his experience working with the Oscar-winning actress. "Pretty much any guy or gal would do anything to win her over, so it was certainly easy when it came to me basically following her like a puppy," he added in the interview obtained by People magazine.
