Viola Davis is always open to something new! As for her latest project, the EGOT winner stars in the action film G20, which will be released in April 2025. Promoting the film in March, Viola spoke with the Times of London and defended the project, which the publication described as «an American president who kicks butt in an absurd action film».
«I don’t think every film you make should be considered for an Oscar», - Viola noted. «I wanted to do something that families could watch together, something popular».
Viola then hinted that an actor doesn’t necessarily have to have a career full of dramatic, award-winning roles. «But internally, you always strive to return to fun», - she explained, adding that «she needed some lightness in life», - referring to her linear project.
«You only owe something to two people — your six-year-old and eighty-year-old self», - said the actress from «Fences».
Below, Hollywood Life has gathered all the details about G20!
The official G20 logo states: «After the G20 summit is taken over by terrorists, President Daniel Sutton must use all his diplomacy and military experience to protect his family and his fellow leaders». Viola plays Daniel.
Since this is ultimately an action film, Viola joked in an interview with the Times of London that she «sometimes complained» about filming fight scenes because of her «certain age». However, the star of «The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 2» pointed out that she is not «the kind of woman who is afraid to look muscular, and I don’t believe in losing a lot of weight to be ready for a magazine shoot — there is still a part of me that wants to represent real life. I wanted to look capable, a leader who is ready to jump first through the glass pane».
As for the message of G20, Viola hopes that it will reach all audiences. However, the film is released a few months after former Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris lost the 2024 election to Republican Donald Trump. Therefore, Viola acknowledged that for some viewers, seeing a woman of color as the President of the United States may «probably» cause regret «in hindsight». However, she pointed out that «they made this film before [the 2024 elections]».
«I don’t think it’s a suspension of disbelief to imagine that someone who looks like me could be president», - Viola told the publication. «If you delve into the details, we just want to reach people».
G20 is set to be released on April 10, 2025.
G20 is scheduled for release on the Prime Video platform from the Amazon MGM studio
