Close to Lethal Weapon
Head writer and executive producer Malcolm Spellman said there’s a huge spectrum when it comes to “two-hander” movies. On one side are the very dramatic ones, of which he cites the extreme being 1958’s The Defiant Ones with Tony Curtis and Sidney Poitier. Then, on the other side, are the buddy comedies, in which he mentions 2014’s Ride Along starring Ice Cube and Kevin Hart. Spellman explained he aimed for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier to be almost right in the middle of that wide spectrum, the closest example being Lethal Weapon.
