The clip pulls back the curtain on Orïsha, a mythic pre-colonial West African kingdom where magic has been violently stripped from the people, and centers Thuso Mbedu as Zélie Adebola, the young maji at the heart of the fight to bring it back. Damson Idris and Amandla Stenberg play the king’s children, Prince Inan and Princess Amari, while Tosin Cole, Regina King, Idris Elba and Cynthia Erivo round out a genuinely stacked ensemble. The trailer itself rides an excerpt of Beyoncé‘s 2022 track “Energy,” a needle-drop that signals exactly how big this swing is meant to feel. Watch the trailer above. Children of Blood and Bone opens in theaters and IMAX on January 15, 2027.
