Arnold Schwarzenegger & Liam Hemsworth’s The Kellys Adds Oscar-Winning Actress

Amazon MGM’s The Kellys just added a legendary actress to its already stacked cast. The action film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Liam Hemsworth welcomes an Oscar winner back to the genre after nearly 30 years.

Latest cast update on Arnold Schwarzenegger’s The Kellys

Geena Davis is the latest addition to Amazon MGM’s action film The Kellys, Deadline reports. The Academy Award winner joins a cast that already includes Arnold Schwarzenegger, Liam Hemsworth, Kelsey Asbille, and Abby Elliott. Brad Peyton directs the film, which he co-wrote with Tze Chun.

Details about Davis’ specific role remain under wraps at this time. The film follows Jack Kelly, a disgraced NYC cop whose wife Molly is taken hostage by terrorists. Jack must team up with the people he fears most to rescue her: his family. Amazon MGM acquired the project for streaming on Prime Video. The platform plans to release it across more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.

Davis marks her return to the action genre after nearly 30 years. Her last action role came in 1996’s The Long Kiss Goodnight. She previously earned her Oscar win for 1988’s The Accidental Tourist in the Best Supporting Actress category. Her role in 1991’s Thelma & Louise cemented her status as a cinema icon.

Davis has stayed active on screen in recent years with select projects. She starred alongside Alfred Molina in Netflix’s sci-fi adventure mystery The Boroughs, which premiered on May 21. Her recent film credits include Zoë Kravitz’s directorial debut, Blink Twice, and Sofia Coppola-produced Fairyland. She will next appear in The Wrong Girls, a stoner comedy for Neon.

That upcoming film features her alongside Kristen Stewart, Seth Rogen, and LaKeith Stanfield. Thunder Road Films produces The Kellys alongside Amazon MGM Studios. CAA, Untitled Entertainment, and Hansen, Jacobson, Teller represent Davis.
