Sasha Calle Joins Jamie Foxx In Amazon MGM Action Flick ‘Deadlocked’

EXCLUSIVE: Sasha Calle (The Rip) is set for a major role opposite Jamie Foxx in Deadlocked, the new action film from Amazon MGM Studios that we announced earlier this month.

Directed by Nikhil Bhat, Deadlocked follows a grieving former Marine serving jury duty who is forced back into action when the trial of the century turns into a deadly hostage situation as the defendant’s daughter seizes the courthouse to free her father.

The film, written by Eric Scot Anderson (The Black Fox) and Matt Takejiro Bosack (CBS’ NCIS: Hawai’i), and based on their original idea, is being made for streaming. Producers include Fred Berger for Range, Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, Dave Caplan for C2, and Jamie Foxx for Foxxhole Productions. AJ Bourscheid, Liz Destro, Paul Currie and Corinne Foxx serve as executive producers.

Booking one major studio gig after another in recent years, Calle is coming off a role opposite Matt Damon and Ben Affleck in The Rip, Joe Carnahan’s crime thriller for Netflix, which released in January and remained in the top 10 global film list for six weeks. She can currently be seen starring opposite Colin Farrell in the second season of Apple TV’s neo-noir series Sugar and will next be seen opposite Scarlett Johansson in Mike Flanagan’s take on The Exorcist for Universal, releasing in theaters on March 12, 2027.

Calle made her feature film debut as Supergirl in Warner Bros.’ The Flash, becoming the first Latina actress to portray the superhero in a major studio film. Other film credits include Daniel Minahan’s On Swift Horses, as well as Alessandra Lacorazza Samudio’s In the Summers, which won both the Grand Jury Prize and Directing Award for U.S. Dramatic Film in its 2024 premiere at Sundance.

Earlier in her career, Calle won a Daytime Emmy for her work on The Young and the Restless. She is repped by CAA, Luber Roklin, and Del Shaw Moonves.
