Thelma is a 2024 American action comedy film directed by Josh Margolin from a screenplay by Josh Margolin. The film is set to be released in the United States on June 21, 2024.
Inspired by the real life of director Josh Margolin's own grandmother, the film makes a clever spin on films like "„Mission: Impossible„", shining the spotlight on an elderly grandmother as an unlikely action hero. With infectious humor, Margolin uses familiar action genre tropes in hilarious, age-appropriate ways to tackle aging in a fun way.
In the first major film role of her 70-year career, June Squibb portrays the strong-willed Thelma with grit and determination, demonstrating that she is more than capable of taking care of business – even though her daughter Gail (Parker Posey), father-in-law Alan (Clark Gregg) or grandson Danny (Fred Hechinger) can't believe it.
