Lionsgate has announced the official release date for the upcoming action thriller, starring Emmy winner Kerry Washington and Golden Globe nominee Omar Sy.
The film hails from The A-Team director Joe Carnahan. “In the film, Kyrah (Washington) and Isaac (Sy) were once the leaders of a multinational special forces group called Shadow Force,” reads the official synopsis. “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.” Shadow Force is scheduled to arrive in theaters on May 2, 2025, pitting it directly against Marvel Studios’ Thunderbolts*.
The film will also be debuting in the same month as other high-profile movies like Final Destination: Bloodlines, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, Lilo & Stitch, Bring Her Back, and Karate Kid: Legends.
The film is directed by Joe Carnahan, who co-wrote the screenplay with Leon Chills. Joining Washington and Sy are Mark Strong, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Cliff “Method Man” Smith, Yoson An, Natalia Reyes, Sala Baker, and more.
