The upcoming action thriller G20 showcases Viola Davis in a dynamic new role as President Danielle Sutton—a mother, leader, and fighter—thrust into crisis when terrorists hijack the G20 summit.
Blending emotional intensity with high-stakes action, G20 promises a gripping ride as Davis’s character battles to rescue her family and safeguard the world’s most powerful leaders. “I always wanted to play a hero,” Davis says, noting the rare opportunity to portray a powerful, multifaceted female protagonist—especially a woman of color.
Set against a backdrop of global diplomacy gone wrong, the film dives into chaos when an unexpected terrorist attack disrupts the summit. As President Sutton, Davis is forced into action, navigating danger and emotional turmoil with fierce determination. Behind-the-scenes clips reveal explosive scenes, strategic combat, and moments of emotional urgency—like when she declares, “We have to find them.”
Known for her intensity, Davis trained rigorously in jiu-jitsu and tactical combat to bring authenticity to the role. The action team, which also worked with her on The Woman King, helped craft scenes that highlight both her physical prowess and emotional depth.
Joining Davis is a stellar cast including Anthony Anderson, Marsai Martin, Ramón Rodríguez, Antony Starr, Douglas Hodge, Elizabeth Marvel, Sabrina Impacciatore, and Clark Gregg—each adding depth to the film’s geopolitical and personal stakes.
Directed with grit and cinematic flair, G20 stands out not just for its thrilling sequences but for its message of resilience, motherhood, and strength in leadership. As Davis’s character defiantly proclaims, “I will not leave them,” the film promises to be a standout entry in the action genre—fueled by passion, power, and purpose.
