Jade Cargill will make her acting debut in the upcoming movie True Threat, alongside Jonathan Majors, according to an exclusive story by Deadline.com.
The action thriller based in Harlem will be directed by Gerard McMurray and produced by Alexis Garcia, Charlamagne Tha God, Basil Iwanyk, and Karen Kinney.
The plot of the movie follows a Special Forces operative, played by Majors, who returns home seeking justice after his teenage son is murdered by Harlem’s Apollo Kids gang.
Cargill will play the role of Meeka, described as a key lieutenant in the Apollo Kids and one of the movie’s biggest villains.
“I am excited to have Jade join us on True Threat,” McMurray shared in a statement to Deadline. “She is a unique talent with a rare blend of athleticism, charisma, and control on camera. The role of Meeka requires presence and precision, and Jade brings both. I believe audiences will see a completely new side of her in this film.”
The producing team added, “Our mission here is to champion new faces and new voices in action storytelling. Jade is exactly the type of dynamic talent we want to introduce to the global film audience. She is already a force in the sports and entertainment world, and we believe this is just the beginning for her on the big screen.”
Production is starting later in the Fall.
