Gabrielle Union Will Be Kicking Ass In Her New Action Film

The actress is getting physical in this new Will Packer production.
By Danielle Kwateng-Clark · Updated December 6, 2020

Gabrielle Union has starred in a lot of powerful roles over the course of her career, but she’s getting ready for her most kick-ass role yet.

As reported by Variety, Union will star in and produce the home-invasion drama Breaking In, with shooting starting in July in Los Angeles. Union will produce the project with Will Packer through his Will Packer Productions. 

V for Vendetta director James McTeigue is also on board to direct. The film is based on a pitch from Jaime Primak Sullivan about a woman fighting to protect her family during a home invasion.

In our minds, the movie will be as physical as Jennifer Lopez was in Enough and suspense-filled as Beyoncé’s Obsessed. But we can only wait and see.

In addition to her working on this new film, Union’s fans can look forward to BET’s Being Mary Jane returning July 18.
