WWE saw the arrival of a storm in 2023, which was an excellent addition to their roster. It was the former AEW TBS Champion, Jade Cargill, who made a huge impact in the wrestling world. Her impressive tenure in Tony Khan’s company led to her WWE signing, which kicked off one of the best rises the promotion has seen in years.
The Storm has won championship gold and been featured in top-tier showdowns over the course of one year. Moreover, her fame has now transcended the borders of professional wrestling and landed her a major role in a big acting project in which she has a significant role.
What character will Jade Cargill be playing in her acting debut?
In a report by Deadline, Jade Cargill is slated to make her debut in the world of film and acting. She will be a part of the movie, True Threat, starring renowned actor Jonathan Majors. Gerard McMurray directs the film, and the production of the movie will begin in the fall of 2025.
The Storm of WWE, who is also a mother to an eight-year-old girl, is reportedly playing the role of Lieutenant Meeka, a member of the gang, the Apollo Kids. In the film, her character operates as a power broker within The Carter. Cargill’s athletic background and physical fitness will fulfill the role’s requirements, making her an apt choice to be cast in the acting project.
Furthermore, the director, Gerard McMurray, also spoke about Cargill’s casting. He applauded the former WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion’s tenure in the company while also praising her style, athleticism, and onscreen presentation on WWE television programming.
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.
Furthermore, McMurray’s vision was to introduce such an individual as a talent in the world of film and television. With Jade Cargill already a top name in Sports Entertainment, the director believed that this project would be a big step for her moving forward.
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.
