Jharrel Jerome has growing pains in trailer for Boots Riley’s I’m A Virgo

March 7, 2023 by Matt Rodgers

Prime Video has released the teaser trailer for their mythical coming-of-age comedy I’m A Virgo, which is created, written, and directed by Sorry to Bother You director Boots Riley, and stars Emmy-winning When They See Us actor Jharrel Jerome.

A coming-of-age story about a 13-foot-tall young Black man (Jerome) who steps out into the world having been hidden away for years, I’m A Virgo also features Brett Gray (Star Trek: Prodigy), Kara Young (The Punisher), Allius Barnes (Cruel Summer), Olivia Washington (Breaking), Mike Epps (Dolemite Is My Name), and Carmen Ejogo (True Detective); check out the teaser below…

From visionary filmmaker Boots Riley, I’m A Virgo is a darkly-comedic fantastical coming-of-age joyride about Cootie (Jerome), a 13-foot-tall young Black man in Oakland, CA. Having grown up hidden away, passing time on a diet of comic books and TV shows, he escapes to experience the beauty and contradictions of the real world. He forms friendships, finds love, navigates awkward situations, and encounters his idol, the real life superhero named The Hero, played by Walton Goggins (Hateful 8, Righteous Gemstones). I’m A Virgo is a mythical odyssey that questions the purpose of the mythical odyssey.

I’m A Virgo will have its world premiere at SXSW before premiering this summer on Prime Video.
