Jade Cargill To Make Acting Debut In New Action Thriller True Threat

WWE star Jade Cargill will make her on-screen acting debut opposite Jonathan Majors in the new action thriller True Threat. Deadline reports that Cargill has joined the former MCU star in the Harlem-set thriller from writer-director Gerard McMurray.

Cargill is the second performer added to the cast behind Majors. The film is described as follows:

True Threat follows Special Forces operative Vernon Threat (Majors), who returns home seeking justice after his teenage son is murdered by Harlem’s Apollo Kids gang. Threat infiltrates The Carter, a 20-story project building controlled by the gang, and fights his way floor by floor and boss by boss toward a confrontation with its leader and his former mentor, Shallow.

Cargill will play one of the Apollo Kids lieutenants named Meeka. One of the movie’s main villains, the character controls The Carter’s red light district and operates as a power broker inside.

“I am excited to have Jade join us on True Threat,” McMurray told the outlet. “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 noted, “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.”
