Mays, who played Kevin Hamilton opposite Idris’ Franklin Saint on FX’s Snowfall, got emotional reflecting on the show’s turbulent pilot under John Singleton, with rewrites and recasts that Idris endured. Idris stars as rookie F1 driver Joshua Pearce in the June 2025 hit film directed by Joseph Kosinski, which grossed over $630 million worldwide on a $200-300 million budget. Mays called it a blessing to see Black talent headline such a production, highlighting their deep bond from the 2017 series debut.
