FULL LIST: Funke Akindele unveils star cast for new movie ‘The Four’

Nollywood actress and filmmaker Funke Akindele has unveiled the star-studded cast for her latest movie, 'The Four: No One Fights Alone,' slated for a global cinema release on December 11, 2026. The film brings together prominent figures from Nollywood, music, and entertainment, including Akindele herself, Waje, Chioma Akpotha, Bisola Aiyeola, and Richard Mofe-Damijo, among many others.

The movie is described as an emotionally charged drama focusing on friendship, motherhood, resilience, and the strength of ordinary women. Set between the Odu Community and a vibrant city, the narrative follows Esosa and three loyal women as they fight for a young man they love, testing their courage, faith, and loyalty. The film aims to showcase Nigeria’s cultural identity through music, fashion, language, and tradition, exploring themes of hope, sacrifice, and unity.

Audiences have grown with us over the years, and they expect stories that entertain while reflecting who we are.

Akindele, who also serves as the film's writer, director, and producer, stated that the movie explores relationships and experiences that audiences can identify with. "Audiences have grown with us over the years, and they expect stories that entertain while reflecting who we are," she said in an interview. "With The Four, we are exploring the relationships that shape us, challenge us and stay with us. I think audiences will find a part of themselves in this story."

This project marks another significant theatrical endeavor for Akindele, who has cemented her status as a leading Nigerian filmmaker and box-office force. Her previous commercially successful films, such as 'Omo Ghetto: The Saga' and 'A Tribe Called Judah,' have consistently broken box-office records in Nigeria, reinforcing her influence in African cinema. FilmOne will handle the theatrical distribution of 'The Four: No One Fights Alone.'
