[This story contains spoilers for Kathryn Bigelow\u2019s A House of Dynamite.]<\/strong><\/p>\n Angel Reese can now say that she\u2019s starred on the big screen at the Venice Film Festival.<\/p>\n More from The Hollywood Reporter<\/strong><\/p>\n The WNBA superstar has a surprise cameo in Kathryn Bigelow\u2019s nuclear disaster thriller A House of Dynamite, a Netflix film that had its world premiere inside the fest\u2019s Sala Grande theater on Tuesday evening. Bigelow soaked in the scene along with her cast members, including Idris Elba, Rebecca Ferguson, Anthony Ramos, Greta Lee, Gabriel Basso, Tracy Letts and Jared Harris, as the pic earned an 11-minute standing ovation. <\/a><\/p>\n Reese, a Vogue<\/a> cover girl who currently plays for the Chicago Sky, can say she\u2019s in good company as the cast also includes Jonah Hauer-King, Moses Ingram, Malachi Beasley, Brian Tee, Brittany O\u2019Grady, Willa Fitzgerald, Ren\u00e9e Elise Goldsberry, Kyle Allen and Kaitlyn Dever.<\/p>\n The film is separated into three chapters and Reese appears in the third and final. There\u2019s a little bit of a lead-up to her cameo as Elba\u2019s character, the President of the United States, is briefed in the White House that the next item on his agenda is an \u201cAngel Reese\u201d thing. The action picks up as the president visits Liberty Arena where Reese is waiting on the basketball floor with a group of girls. Elba\u2019s character then shoots some hoops and shares how sports have changed his life. Reese engaged with Elba and the young women until the president was abruptly pulled away to deal with a developing catastrophe.<\/p>\n Bigelow\u2019s film, penned by Noah Oppenheim, tells the story of what unfolds after a single, unattributed missile is launched at the United States, forcing a tense race among political and military officials to determine who is responsible and how the U.S. should respond before an entire city is wiped from the map.<\/p>\n Following its world premiere at the 82nd Venice Film Festival, A House of Dynamite opens in select theaters Oct. 3 in the U.K., globally Oct. 10 and on Netflix Oct. 24.<\/p>\n It\u2019s not the first time Reese has appeared on screen in a creative way. The Louisiana State University national championship star previously was seen in music videos for NLE Choppa\u2019s \u201cChampions\u201d and Latto featuring Cardi B\u2019s \u201cPut it on Da Floor Again.\u201d<\/p>\n Best of The Hollywood Reporter<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for THR’s Newsletter<\/a>.
