'Children of Blood and Bone' Trailer Drops | WATCH | EURweb | Black News, Culture, Entertainment & More

On Monday, director Gina Prince-Bythewood unveiled the first trailer for "Children of Blood and Bone" at New York's Brooklyn Academy of Music, starring Thuso Mbedu as a young diviner in the fictional kingdom of Orisha.
Based on Tomi Adeyemi's 2018 novel, the film features a star-studded cast including Viola Davis and Idris Elba, with production designer Hannah Beachler grounding the magic in African history and spirituality.
Actor Tosin Cole trained for four months to master axe-fighting, while the soundtrack features contributions from Nigerian artists Tems and Burna Boy, enhancing the West African-inspired world.
Adeyemi publicly denounced the adaptation earlier in July, stating she would not promote the project and revealing on TikTok that she blocked lead actress Amandla Stenberg, telling her, "Do not ever use my name."
"Children of Blood and Bone" arrives in theaters January 15, 2027; Prince-Bythewood, director of "The Woman King," says she waited until now to possess the technical confidence needed for Adeyemi's sprawling fantasy universe.
