This is fantastic news for Nollywood and African representation in Hollywood! 🎬✨ The inclusion of Richard Mofe-Damijo (RMD) and Ayra Starr in Children of Blood and Bone not only amplifies Nigerian talent on a global stage but also brings to light the film’s cultural authenticity.

The cast lineup is already impressive, with Thuso Mbedu, Amandla Stenberg, Damson Idris, Viola Davis, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Idris Elba bringing the world of Orïsha to life. It’s also exciting to see Pamilerin Ayodeji and Shamz Garuba joining after open casting in Nigeria—this is a huge step for emerging Nigerian actors!

With Gina Prince-Bythewood directing and filming taking place in South Africa, it looks like Children of Blood and Bone is shaping up to be a visually stunning and culturally rich adaptation. And with a January 15, 2027 release in IMAX, the anticipation is real! 🔥

Are you looking forward to seeing how they bring Tomi Adeyemi’s novel to life? Which casting choice excites you the most?
