Cinema Vault Studio is delighted to announce that actress Martina Avogadri has officially joined the cast of PHOENIX in the pivotal role of Jade.

A London-based actress of Italian origin, Martina trained at the prestigious Paolo Grassi Drama School in Milan and has built an impressive career across film and television. Audiences may recognise her from the Netflix feature Lift, produced by Kevin Hart, in which she appeared alongside both Kevin Hart and acclaimed French actor Jean Reno. Her growing body of work showcases a performer capable of bringing intelligence, authenticity and emotional depth to a wide range of roles.

Jade stands at the heart of PHOENIX. A talented young detective on secondment from CID, she finds herself drawn into a conspiracy that reaches far beyond conventional policing after a devastating mission leaves her mentors missing and her world turned upside down. As the story unfolds, Jade's journey becomes one of resilience, courage and transformation, carrying the legacy of those who came before while helping shape the future of Phoenix itself.

​

Following a highly competitive casting process, Martina's audition immediately stood out. Her performance captured the determination, vulnerability and strength that define Jade, demonstrating a clear understanding of the character's emotional journey and the challenges she must overcome.

Richard Harber, creator of PHOENIX, said:

"From the moment we saw Martina's audition, it was clear she understood who Jade is at her core. The role demands someone who can carry both the emotional weight and the action-driven elements of the story, and Martina brought exactly that. We're incredibly excited to welcome her to the Phoenix family."

Martina joins a growing roster of established and emerging talent attached to the project as development continues on the PHOENIX proof-of-concept pilot. With discussions continuing across cast, crew and industry partners, the future of the project has never looked brighter.

The future rises.

PHOENIX is coming.
