Jodie Turner-Smith has said she hopes to be part of a “fictional normalising” of black women in senior roles in the military with her new film role.
The Queen & Slim star plays a Navy Seal team member in Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse, starring opposite Black Panther actor Michael B Jordan.
The movie is an adaptation of Tom Clancy’s 1993 novel, directed by Stefano Sollima, the filmmaker behind cult crime drama Gomorrah.
Jordan plays elite Navy Seal John Kelly, who is seeking justice for the murder of his pregnant wife, when he finds himself inside a much larger conspiracy that threatens to engulf the United States and Russia in an all-out war, while Turner-Smith plays Lieutenant Commander Karen Greer.
