"I had filmed my first lead action, it's called 'Phoenix' and hopefully it — if everything goes well in the editing room it will drop this year," said Marie. "I don't know where exactly it will live in the sense of like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, but that is a little something that I have been up to for sure."

According to IMDb, one of Marie's first films was the 2017 thriller "Inconceivable," which starred Nicholas Cage and Gina Gershon. Three years later, in 2020, Marie starred in the action film, "Hard Kill" with Bruce Willis and Jesse Metcalfe.
