The new trailer opens with award-winning actress Lynch as Jumoke, the mother of Z\u00e9lie, played by South African actress Thuso Mbedu.<\/p>\n
Jumoke can be seen kneeling in front of a younger version of her daughter in the desert, telling her: “You must not be afraid.”<\/p>\n
Alongside clips of forests, pink lakes and people working in a village, a voiceover by Lynch says: “Orisha was once a land where magic flowed through our people.”<\/p>\n
She then tells her daughter she was “born with a gift greater than you know” as it shows her creating fire with her hands.<\/p>\n
However, she explains, “those who feared our power took it away from us” as it shifts to clips of an army storming the village and taking away Jumoke. <\/p>\n
Later, Viola Davis’s character Lekan tells an older Z\u00e9lie that she has been training her for years as she believes she can “bring magic back” to the area.<\/p>\n
F1 the Movie star Idris also appears as Prince Inan and Wicked actress Erivo portrays Admiral Kaea. <\/p>\n
The film’s star-studded cast also features Luther actor Idris Elba, Rush singer Ayra Starr, The Hate U Give Amandla Stenberg and Brit Rising Star winner Bukky Bakray among its cast.<\/p>\n
Last month, Adeyemi shared photos to her social media channel suggesting tensions between her and the film’s producers. <\/p>\n
In a post, she said: “There is a reason I will not post anything about the adaptation of my work. That’s all.”<\/p>\n
She also posted a screenshot of a text message apparently sent to Stenberg, who plays Princess Amari in the upcoming film, in which she wrote: “Do not ever use my name in an interview or video again. <\/p>\n
“Do not text me. Do not call me.” <\/p>\n
The production team and Stenberg have been approached for comment. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
