John Boyega joins historical epic The Woman King

September 25, 2021 by Gary Collinson

John Boyega has become the latest addition to the cast of The Woman King, a historical epic from The Old Guard director Gina Prince-Bythewood.

Inspired by true events that took place in the Kingdom of Dahomey, one of the most powerful states of 18th and 19th century Africa, The Woman King “follows Nanisca (Viola Davis), general of the all-female military unit, and Nawi (Thuso Mbedu), an ambitious recruit, who together fought enemies who violated their honor, enslaved their people, and threatened to destroy everything they’ve lived for.”

Along with Viola Davis (The Suicide Squad) and Thuso Mbedu (The Underground Railroad), Boyega joins the previously announced Lashana Lynch (No Time To Die) in the cast of the film, which is being produced by TriStar Pictures.
