2024 Action Comedy Is Giving A Beloved Actor Their First-Ever Lead Movie Role Aged 94

2024 boasts top-notch action films with diverse styles, from martial arts to indie thrillers to explosive blockbusters. At 94, June Squibb has finally landed her first lead role in the action-comedy film Thelma. An unconventional action-comedy, Thelma boasts both hilarious and heartfelt takes on aging.
From Dev Patel's directorial debut Monkey Man and the Kristen Stewart-led Love Lies Bleeding to Jason Statham's action-packed The Beekeeper, 2024 has seen its fair share of top-notch action films. Not to mention, the year's best action movies run the gamut. Some are full of impressive martial arts and nuanced choreography, while others are indie thrillers or packed with explosions. Essentially, there's an action movie out there for every type of viewer, and enough record-setting blockbusters to inspire faith in summer 2024's slate of popcorn movies.
An unlikely competitor that's partly inspired by Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible...may be the year's best action-comedy movie.
