Zoe Saldaña and Nicole Kidman butt heads in the first images from Taylor Sheridan's SpecialOpsLioness.
We're finally getting our first look at Special Ops: Lioness, an upcoming spy thriller set to stream on Paramount+ from Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan, thanks to Vanity Fair. Lioness is based on a real-life CIA program and will follow Cruz Manuelos , a passionate young Marine who is recruited to join the CIA’s Lioness Engagement Team in a bid to help bring down a terrorist organization from the inside.
Of her character, De Oliveira says: “She goes in to befriend the target’s daughter. So this girl becomes her mark. She wants to get close to this girl so that they can get to the target. But when you’re hanging out with somebody every day and get to know them as humans, it gets really hard to do what you have to do."
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT De Oliveira has some A-list star power supporting her in the series. Zoe Saldaña, hot on the heels of both her appearance in Avatar: The Way of Water and her final appearance as Gamora in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3, appears as Joe, the station chief of the program who is tasked with training, managing, and leading her elite team of female undercover operatives.
Kidman has also spoken about the low-key approach needed by these spies, who must remain unnoticed at all costs. “It’s a secretive world,” Kidman says. “They put their country before themselves by remaining anonymous. They have to remain anonymous to preserve their program.
