The film will hit theaters on May 8 and will also include late rapper Takeoff’s final on-screen appearance.
Quavo takes the spotlight in the official trailer for Takeover, a forthcoming crime-drama that finds the rap star stepping into his most prominent acting role yet. The graphic novel-style action thriller features him as Guy Miller, a street-racing legend trying to rebuild his life after doing time in prison. This isn’t just another celebrity cameo, either; it’s a full commitment to a high-octane project that’s been in development since 2022. Billy Zane, Serayah, LaMonica Garrett, and Martin Sensmeier are all part of the ensemble, and the late Takeoff also appears in the film, making it extra meaningful for the Migos legacy.
The whole thing is being produced by Kevin “Coach K” Lee and Pierre “CEO P” Thomas through Quality Control Music’s production arm, Quality Films, in partnership with Trioscope Studios. His filmography speaks for itself at this point. He’s done work on “Atlanta,” “Black-ish,” “Ballers”, “Narcos: Mexico,” and “Star,” plus he recently starred alongside John Travolta in “Cash Out” and its sequel “High Rollers.”
Last year, he appeared in the animated film “Sneaks” with Anthony Mackie and Martin Lawrence, so he’s already comfortable moving between live action and animation.
