Rebecca Ferguson has been revealed in a new image from A House of Dynamite. Directed by Kathryn Bigelow, who won two Oscars for The Hurt Locker, with a script written by Noah Oppenheim (Netflix’s Zero Day), the upcoming political thriller follows a team of White House officials as they race against time to respond to an imminent missile strike on the United States.

The film features a mᴀssive star-studded ensemble cast that includes Rebecca Ferguson, Idris Elba, Gabriel Bᴀsso, Jared Harris, Tracy Letts, Anthony Ramos, Moses Ingram, Jonah Hauer-King, Greta Lee, Jason Clarke, Malachi Beasley, Brian Tee, Brittany O’Grady, Gbenga Akinnagbe, Willa Fitzgerald, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Kyle Allen, Kaitlyn Dever, Francesca Carpanini, and Abubakr Ali.

Now, via La Biennale di Venezia on X, the first look at Rebecca Ferguson in A House of Dynamite has been revealed. The image shows the actress playing a character named Olivia Walker, seemingly a government agent coordinating an operation in a command center, urgently relaying information as maps and data flash behind her. Check out the image below:

Translated, the post calls A House of Dynamite “a journey into the madness of a world under the constant threat of annihilation.”

What This Means For A House Of Dynamite

This is now the second image from A House of Dynamite that has been revealed, the first showing two Secret Service agents, armed with ᴀssault rifles, escorting a man in a suit carrying a duffle bag through a dimly lit concrete corridor. Now, the second image has revealed one of the main stars from the movie, Rebecca Ferguson.

Ferguson has been on quite a run recently from Dune, Mission: Impossible – ᴅᴇᴀᴅ Reckoning, and Silo. In A House of Dynamite, she appears to be playing a high-ranking intelligence officer, possibly CIA or Homeland Security, who is tasked with overseeing the rapidly escalating national crisis. Judging by the intense command center setting, her character could be coordinating efforts to track the domestic threat.

Our Take On The House Of Dynamite Image

This is now the second image from A House of Dynamite that has been shared by the Venice International Film Festival, where the film will premiere in compeтιтion this September. In fact, the film has already been nominated for the Golden Lion, the highest prize awarded at the festival.

Directed by Bigelow, who won Oscars for Best Director and Best Picture for The Hurt Locker, there are rightfully high hopes for A House of Dynamite, and its awards season potential. Its campaign will start at the Venice Film Festival, where it has the chance to earn some early buzz before heading to Netflix the following month.
