Jade Cargill set to make her acting debut as she lands role in action thriller

It was reported by Deadline.com that Jade Cargill is set to make her acting debut as she has landed an acting role in the Harlem-set action thriller True Threat, starring alongside Jonathan Majors and directed by Gerard McMurray (The First Purge). Jade is the second actor cast after Majors, whose role was revealed by Deadline in March. Production is set to start this fall. In True Threat, Majors plays Vernon Threat, a Special Forces operative seeking justice for his son’s murder by infiltrating a gang-controlled building in Harlem to confront its leader, Shallow. Jade portrays Meeka, a key Apollo Kids lieutenant running the building’s red light district.

McMurray gave a statement to Deadline about casting Jade…

“I am excited to have Jade join us on True Threat. 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 also issued a statement…

“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.”
