One of Anthony Mackie’s and Priyanka Chopra Jonas’ next films will take them into the world of assassins, Collider reports.
Citing a Deadline report, the publication says the two will star in the upcoming action film Ending Things. The film will follow a hit-woman who wants out of the assassin business, and who tells her “business” partner that she’s ending their personal relationship as well. But she comes to realize she doesn’t want to end that part of their bond. The film is also described as being influenced by the 1994 film True Lies (directed by James Cameron), which starred Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis.
Mackie is well known for playing Sam Wilson/Falcon/Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. His other recent work includes 2021’s The Woman in the Window (directed by Joe Wright), Outside the Wire (directed by Mikael Hafstrom), and 2020’s The Banker. He will also star in the upcoming film Desert Warrior (directed by Rupert Wyatt), and the fourth movie in the Captain America franchise (written by The Falcon and the Winter Soldier’s Malcolm Spellman and Dalan Musson). He will also be making his directorial debut in the upcoming film Spark. It will star Saniyya Sidney as Civil Rights pioneer Claudette Colvin.
Jonas is well known for playing Alex Parrish in the television series Quantico (which ran on ABC from 2015-2018). Her other recent work includes 2021’s The Matrix Resurrections (directed by Lana Wachowski), The White Tiger (directed by Ramin Bahrani), and 2020’s We Can Be Heroes (directed by Robert Rodriguez). She will also be starring with Sam Hueghan in the upcoming romantic comedy film Text For You (directed by James C. Strouse).
Jonas is also scheduled to star in Amazon Prime Video’s upcoming limited series Citadel (created by Patrick Moran, Anthony Russo, and Joe Russo).
The film’s script was written by Kevin Sullivan. Verve and UTA are currently selling the script to potential buyers.
