Anthony Mackie and Dafne Keen to Star In Action Thriller BARRACUDA for Director Neil Burger

Marvel actors Anthony Mackie (Captain America) and Dafne Keen (Deadpool & Wolverine) have signed on to star in the action thriller Barracuda for director Neil Burger (Divergent, Limitless, The Illusionist).

The pair will star alongside Steven Bauer (Ray Donovan) and Anthony Del Negro (Running Point). The film is written by Adam Mason and Simon Boyes.

The film “follows Karl (Mackie), a former smuggler with a haunted past, who storms a nightclub in Mexico to rescue Jodie (Keen), a kidnapped teenage girl.

“His actions ignite a chain reaction of blood and bullets that burns across 100 miles of deadly roads toward the U.S. border, spawning into a high-speed race when Karl kills the brother of the ruthless club owner and steals his prized 1973 Plymouth Barracuda.

“Now hunted by relentless criminals, Karl and Jodie tear across the desert with no way to slow down. Barracuda is a high-octane ride of redemption and roaring engines that never lets up.”

Robert Zemeckis is executive producing, and the film will being shooting this week in New Mexico.
