The Woman King
WHEN VIOLA DAVIS LEADS, HISTORY BURNS ITS OWN PATH. With Thuso Mbedu and Lashana Lynch.
The trailer for The Woman King is nothing short of electrifying — a thunderous mix of power, pride, and pain. From the first frame, Viola Davis commands the screen as General Nanisca, the unbreakable leader of the Agojie — an all-female army protecting the Kingdom of Dahomey. Her eyes hold the weight of centuries, her every word feels like prophecy.
The visuals burst with life — golden sunsets over the African plains, rhythmic war drums echoing through the wind, and warriors moving as one under Nanisca’s command. Thuso Mbedu shines as the young recruit Nawi, torn between fear and courage, while Lashana Lynch brings fire and humor as Izogie, the fierce mentor whose loyalty never wavers.
The trailer teases brutal battles — blades slicing through smoke, shields clashing, and cries of defiance rising against colonial oppression. Yet beyond the chaos, it’s about legacy, sisterhood, and the cost of freedom. Every scar tells a story. Every woman fights for something greater than herself.
The Woman King isn’t just a film — it’s a declaration. A roar from history’s forgotten warriors reminding the world that courage wears many faces — and some of them are queens.
