Jonathan Majors Stars As A Korean War Navy Pilot In Devotion Trailer
Creed 3 star Jonathan Majors takes the role of a Korean War U.S. Navy pilot in the Devotion trailer. Majors stars as Jesse L. Brown, the first Black U.S. Navy combat pilot, in the upcoming film inspired by his courageous true story. Based on the book Devotion: An Epic Story of Heroism, Friendship, and Sacrifice by Adam Makos, the film follows Brown as he develops a friendship with wingman Thomas J. Hudner Jr. (Glen Powell) during the Korean War. The two are tested when one of them finds themselves stuck in a crashed aircraft as the other launches a risky one-man mission to free him from behind enemy lines.
The new Devotion trailer (via Sony Pictures) features Majors in the role of the first Black U.S. Navy pilot Jesse L. Brown with Powell as Medal of Honor recipient Thomas J. Hudner Jr. in a film based on their true story. The film promises high-flying action, gritty combat, and heart-breaking drama with Brown separated from his wife and newborn child while at war. Majors sat down with People and described the tight bond between the pilots: "Tom and Jesse are more soulmates than best friends, which is deep. There's no escaping each other. They are forever each other's men, even in death." Check out the Devotion trailer below:
