He stars as Adam Lawrence, an MI6 agent who becomes head of the organisation after the chief is poisoned by Russian spy Kara Yerzov, with who he shares a complex history.<\/p>\n
Given the obvious parallels <\/span>between Treason and James Bond (Kara is also played by Quantum of Solace <\/span><\/span>star Olga Kurylenko), would Cox take up the James Bond mantle from Daniel Craig if the opportunity arose?<\/p>\n \u201cMy role in the Marvel Universe<\/a> has kind of scratched that itch for me,\u201d he told RadioTimes.com<\/a>.<\/p> \u201cAnd if I\u2019ve learned anything from doing this show, and I\u2019ve done a couple of spy films and TV shows in my career \u2013 I did a BBC Two film called Legacy about 10 years ago \u2013 one of the things I\u2019ve learned in my preparation for both that and Treason is that I would actually make a terrible spy.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m a really bad liar and I need a lot of pretty basic stuff in the spy world explained to me a number of times before I can really grasp it, so I think that probably rules me out.\u201d<\/p>\n Cox went on to explain what sets Treason apart<\/a> from Bond-style thrillers: \u201cDespite what the trailer might suggest, because a trailer is a trailer, there\u2019s not a huge amount of action in the show, actually. A lot of it is dealing with the relationships with Adam\u2019s wife and his children and the pressures for someone who lives and works in that world, especially when they come under fire, especially when there\u2019s extreme adversity, how they handle that.<\/p>\n \u201cThat was one of the goals, how to set it apart from other shows in that genre.\u201d<\/p>\n He added: \u201cI\u2019m now a father to young children and I haven\u2019t had children on camera before, so I was really excited about that. So much of this story in the first episodes revolves around the emotional trauma with his [Lawrence\u2019s] daughter, so I was excited from an acting point of view to explore that, to see what it was like to be a father on screen and to dive into those feelings and those relationships.<\/p>\n \u201cBut if you take James Bond as the pinnacle of spy genre content, what was interesting to me about this was we got to see a little bit more behind the curtain, we got to see some of the quote unquote unflashy elements of what a spy has to deal with, and we get to go home with them.<\/p>\n \u201cWe get to go on a date night with them, he puts the children to bed, and he\u2019s asked pretty pointed questions by his innocent children at times when he\u2019s really questioning his own morality.\u201d<\/p> Treason will stream on\u00a0Netflix<\/a>\u00a0from 26th December 2022.\u00a0<\/strong>Sign up for Netflix from \u00a36.99 a month<\/a>.
