The film “The Woman King” won its first trailer released by Sony Pictures this Wednesday and shows Viola Davis leading an army of women in the struggle for freedom in Africa.
In “The King Woman”, Davis plays Nanisca, the general of an army of women from the African kingdom of Dahomey, between the 18th and 19th centuries, who together with the young warrior Nawi, played by Thuso Mbedu, fights against rival tribes and the French troops, who threaten the honor and freedom of their people.

In addition to Oscar-winning actress Viola Davis, there is another big star in the trailer. The song we hear in the video is “My Power”, by singer Beyoncé, a song inspired by the 2019 remake of “The Lion King”.
The film is based on a real-life group of warriors and is directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood. In addition to Davis and Mbedu, the cast includes the likes of Lashana Lynch, Adrienne Warren, Sheila Atim, John Boyega, Jayme Lawson, Hero Fiennes Tiffin and Masali Baduza.
“The King Woman” will be released in US theaters on September 16. In Brazil, the film does not yet have a confirmed release date.
