Lionsgate has debuted the first official trailer for Joe Carnahan's Shadow Force, an upcoming actioner starring Primetime Emmy-winner Kerry Washington and Omar Sy in the lead roles as a pair of former special forces operatives that are being hunted by their former agency.
As per the synopsis, the film follows Kyrah (Kerry Washington) and Isaac (Omar Sy), who "were once the leaders of a multinational special forces group called Shadow Force. They broke the rules by falling in love, and in order to protect their son, they go underground. With a large bounty on their heads, and the vengeful Shadow Force hot on their trail, one family’s fight becomes all-out war."
The spy action thriller stars Kerry Washington (Scandal; Django Unchained; Little Fires Everywhere) and Omar Sy (Lupin; The Intouchables; Jurassic World) in the lead roles, with a supporting cast consisting of Da'Vine Joy Randolph (The Holdovers; Dolemite Is My Name; Only Murders in the Building), Method Man (Power Book II: Ghost; How High; The Deuce), Mark Strong (Kingsman: The Secret Service; Shazam!; 1917), Jahleel Kamara (Candy Cane Lane; The Wonder Years; Young Dylan), Krondon (Black Lightning; Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse; Harry's Law), Natalia Reyes (Terminator: Dark Fate; Birds of Passage; Cumbia Ninja), Yoson An (Mulan; Plane; Dead Lucky), Ed Quinn (Eureka; 2 Broke Girls; The Oval), Jénel Stevens-Thompson (Black Panther; The Woman King; Avengers: Endgame), and Marshall Cook (Film Fest; One Night in Miami...; Division III: Football's Finest).
