Premise

U.S. President Taylor Sutton must defend her family, fellow leaders and the world when the G20 summit in Cape Town, South Africa is taken over by terrorists.[1]

Cast

Production

It was announced in November 2022 that Viola Davis was set to star in and produce the film, with Patricia Riggen set to direct.[2] Production was impacted in July 2023 as a result of the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike. The film had been granted an interim agreement though the production was not set to commence filming despite this,[3] and Davis announcing the following day she would not film until the conclusion of the strike.[4]

Principal photography officially began in January 2024 in Cape Town, with Anthony Anderson, Marsai Martin, Ramón Rodríguez, Antony Starr, Douglas Hodge, Elizabeth Marvel, Sabrina Impacciatore and Clark Gregg among the cast announced to be joining.[5] Filming wrapped by early March.[1]

Release

G20 is scheduled to be released in the United States on April 10, 2025.[6]
