Is there a trailer for Outside The Wire?
The trailer for the Netflix flick dropped last month – and it’s all kinds of dramatic.
Leo (Anthony) is seen getting tough with Harp (Damson), before letting him on his incredible secret abilities.
‘I’m special enough for both of us,’ Leo assures him as the soldier is seen taking down insurgents left, right and centre.
It seems Captain America’s got nothing on him this time around, as we’re told Leo is ‘stronger, faster, smarter’ than the average human.
Outside The Wire is available to stream on Netflix.
