Jade Cargill Lands Massive Role in Her Acting Debut Alongside Major 35-Year-Old Hollywood Star
WWE star Jade Cargill is set to make her first foray into acting with a role alongside Jonathan Majors in True Threat, an action thriller set in Harlem and directed by Gerard McMurray.
The movie centers on Vernon Threat, a Special Forces soldier who seeks vengeance after his teenage son is killed by Harlem’s Apollo Kids gang, with filming expected to start this fall.
Cargill portrays Meeka, a prominent lieutenant within the gang who manages the red light district inside the building and serves as a major adversary in the story.
Director McMurray praised Jade as an exceptional performer who combines physical prowess, engaging presence, and strong on-screen composure, while producers emphasized their commitment to showcasing fresh talent and diverse voices in action films.
This role represents a major step for Cargill’s career beyond wrestling and could also support Majors' efforts to revitalize his acting trajectory after legal issues.
