Lee Pace’s naked fight is the best sell yet for Apple’s sci-fi show Foundation

The giant, age-spanning sci-fi epic of Apple TV Plus Foundation returns this week for a second season, and on Monday morning it got its best ad yet: a clip of a completely naked Lee Pace punching the absolute shit out of some hitmen.

Foundation Season 2 follows a few different storylines through the universe of the stories, including the holographic projections of Harry Seldon (Jared Harris), a brilliant mathematician trying to help the world through a time of darkness, and the mother and daughter duo of Gaal Dornick (Lou Llobell) and Salvor Hardin (Leah Harvey) who have to help him. There are also a few monks from a religious sect and several clones involved in a royal wedding. But here’s the point: None of that matters.

The bottom line is that Lee Pace, one of the clones mentioned above, looks incredibly hot and beats super soldiers without even a towel to cover himself. I’m not saying the rest of the season will live up to this clip, but I’m saying this clip is good enough to give it the benefit of the doubt.

Foundation the first two episodes of season 2 will be released on Apple TV Plus on July 14 and weekly thereafter.
