On March 21, 2025, new and exciting titles debuted on the streaming service Globoplay, including the highly anticipated series El Turco and the film MMA – Meu Melhor Amigo. These titles promise to bring fresh entertainment to viewers across Brazil and beyond.
Can Yaman, the charismatic Turkish actor known for his captivating performances, takes the lead role in El Turco. This historical drama is set in the 17th century and is inspired by the legendary figure of La Turchia. The series chronicles the story of Hasan Balaban, a wounded Ottoman soldier who becomes a local hero in an Italian village after leading a revolt against heavy taxes. Yaman spoke about his preparation for the role, stating, “I acquired many new skills as an actor, like horse riding, martial arts, archery, sword fighting, among others. In short, we can say that ‘El Turco’ gave me a lot. I’m looking forward to sharing this with Brazil and the world, hoping everyone enjoys it.”
The actor, who is already a household name in Brazil thanks to his previous shows on Globo, also expressed his excitement about returning to the country for promotional events. He noted, “This is my third time visiting this fabulous country. The first time was a vacation with my father, and the second was for a fan meeting. This time, I am very happy to share my excitement about my new project, ‘El Turco.’ The time spent here has always been memorable for me. I am sure I will enjoy every moment this visit too.”
Alongside El Turco, Globoplay also introduced MMA – Meu Melhor Amigo, featuring Marcos Mion and Antonio Fagundes in lead roles. The film follows Max Machadada, played by Mion, a former MMA champion who faces multiple challenges, including recovering from a serious shoulder injury and discovering he has an autistic son. As he navigates these personal and professional trials, viewers will witness his journey of redemption and growth.
