Viola Davis: Locked, Loaded & Leading in G20

Aww sookie sookie now! Viola Davis (How to Get Away with Murder) is in her action bag — and bay-bee, she zipped it ALL the way up!  

In G20, Davis isn’t running a courtroom or commanding a boardroom. Nope. She’s running the free world—and dragging terrorists while she’s at it!

The Oscar-winning actress stars as U.S. President Danielle Sutton, who shows up to the G20 summit looking like red-carpet royalty in a fierce gown and sneakers! Yes, hunny… fashion and fight-ready! But when terrorists storm the building and chaos breaks loose, she flips the script on presidential power, going from Commander-in-Chief to Combat Queen!

This POTUS isn’t waiting in a safe room. Instead, she’s throwing hands, dodging bullets, and climbing elevator shafts!

As Madame President, Davis had “hella” heat, and heart! She threw down, saving world leaders, and protecting her family. She kept it 100 and came through with the right dose of “try me” vibes all while being the fiercest Commander-in-Chief ever seen on screen!

Viola Davis understood the assignment—again! In G20, the Oscar winner isn’t just running the country—she’s running the action genre! G20 is a thrill ride with heartwarming moments, action, and edge-of-your-seat energy from start to finish!
