Marvel Studios isn’t the only one with a movie kicking off summer on May 2 with Thunderbolts*: Lionsgate has just added Joe Carnahan’s Shadow Force to that weekend.
The pic starring Kerry Washington and Omar Sy follows the duo who once were the leaders of a multinational special forces group called Shadow Force. They broke the rules by falling in love and go underground in order to protect their son. With a large bounty on their heads, and the vengeful Shadow Force hot on their trail, one family’s fight becomes all-out war. Carnahan co-wrote the script with Leon Chills.
The pic also stars Mark Strong, Da’Vine Joy Randolph and Cliff “Method Man” Smith. Washington produces with Pilar Savone, Stephen “Dr.” Love and Sterling K. Brown.
Lionsgate presents Shadow Force in association with Media Capital Technologies. It’s a Made with Love/Simpson Street/Indian Meadows production.
Also wide on May 2 is Variance’s David Dastmalchian horror movie Rosario, with Roadside Attractions’ Nicolas Cage movie The Surfer going in moderate release.
The title treatment for Shadow Force also dropped today:
