The new series, which is airing on Sky Atlantic and NOW , follows The Jackal an elusive assassin who makes his living carrying out hits for the highest fee. The former Eton pupil, who was born and raised in Westminster, London, said: “It was a dream role really. The Jackal isn’t just a spy and an assassin, he’s really an actor in the way he takes on different guises and personalities in order to stay undetected.
“Those were the three films we always watched on VHS when I was probably too young really. I’m not sure why. So I was very familiar with the story and with Edward Fox as The Jackal.” “We really wanted to retain the DNA of the character from the book and the film and that kind of craftsmanship of what he does. He’s still very much analogue rather than digital in our version while it also feels entirely fresh.”
