The film contains a strong cast, including Black-like stars Anthony Anderson and Marsai Martin REEIENS as a father-daughter duo. Other stars are Ramón Rodríguez (Will Trent), Antony Starr (The Boys), Douglas Hodge (The Great), Elizabeth Marvel (Love & Death), Sabrina Impacciatore (The White Lotus) and Clark Gregg (Agents of Shield).
Davis shared that the training for this role was different from her intense preparation for the female king. “These were more fists; this looked more like street fights, weapons. This spoke 6-year-old viola on the 6-year-old viola would beep,” De Ster explained. “But we chore a lot of these fight scenes on the set; you had to use your imagination with found objects, with what is in the kitchen with which you can fight to bring someone down. That was a different kind of pleasure.”
Her co-star Anthony Anderson, who plays her husband on the screen, praised her commitment. He said it was great: “Looking at her train and training with her – Jiujitsu and Karate and Boxing and that everything so that she can come here and kick an## like she did. Only the heart, the determination and the passion she brought and led this cast with spilled in everything we did.”
