Michael Peña is heading below sea level…
The 49-year-old Mexican American actor will star alongside Chris Hemsworth and Lily James in Subversion, the new submarine-themed action film from Amazon MGM Studios.
The film follows a once-promising naval commander (Hemsworth) who is blackmailed by a cartel-like organization into piloting a dangerous submarine carrying illegal cargo across international waters. Thrust into a high-stakes game of cat and mouse, with a Coast Guard officer (James) in hot pursuit, he must outmaneuver blockades and navigate perilous threats both inside and outside the submarine.
Details about Peña’s role are being kept under wraps.
Patrick Vollrath is directing the film from a script by Andrew Ferguson. Lorenzo di Bonaventura is producing, with executive producers Stephen Shafer and Greg Cohen for di Bonaventura Pictures.
Peña next will be seen opposite Sarah Snook in the series All Her Fault, an adaptation of the novel by Andrea Mara that premieres on Peacock later this year.
Known for roles in A Million Miles Away, End of Watch, American Hustle and The Martian, he’ll also soon be seen starring opposite Sam Rockwell in Gore Verbinski’s action-adventure flick Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die.
