WWE star Jade Cargill set to make acting debut
WWE wrestler Jade Cargill will make her acting debut as the antagonist Meeka in the action-thriller True Threat, alongside Jonathan Majors.
True Threat follows special forces operative Vernon Threat (Majors) as he seeks justice for his son's murder by infiltrating a Harlem gang-controlled building.
Director Gerard McMurray praised Cargill's unique talent, blending athleticism, charisma, and control, making her perfect for the role of Meeka, a key figure in the gang.
The film is the first production of Southland Stories, founded by Charlamagne Tha God, Basil Iwanyk, and Karen Kinney, aiming to highlight underrepresented voices from the South.
The movie marks Majors' attempt to revive his career after being found guilty of assault and harassment.
