SVO or SV?

In the sentence below, is the "to play.." the object phrase or can "..in order to" be added?

And now, distribution agency GKIDS is gearing up to play a huge role in spreading yet another phase of Japanese animation culture throughout the country.

In short is this SVO or SV?

Thank you.
