Netflix, the global streaming giant, has sent waves of excitement through film enthusiasts with its recent announcement of the forthcoming indigenous movie titled “Jagun Jagun (The Warrior).”

The movie, produced by the highly talented Femi Adebayo Salami, who also leads the cast, promises to deliver an epic Yoruba tale that intertwines themes of power, love, and honor.

Set in a mesmerizing world of ancient warriors and kings, “Jagun Jagun” weaves a gripping narrative around a blood-thirsty warlord who finds himself threatened by the emergence of a young warrior whose desires are nothing but the most fundamental aspects of life: power and the love of a woman.

Helming the project with precision and flair are directors Adebayo Tijani and Tope Adebayo Salami, both acclaimed for their exceptional storytelling abilities.

To breathe life into this captivating tale, the film features a stellar ensemble cast comprising revered names from the Yoruba and English Nollywood categories, including Adedimeji Lateef, Bimbo Ademoye, Fathia Balogun, Mr Macaroni, and Bukunmi Oluwasina, among several others.

With a commitment to authenticity and attention to detail, no expense was spared during the month-long shoot, which took place at an evocative Southwest location in Nigeria. The dedication of the cast and crew is evident in the trailer, which teases a culturally rich Yoruba story filled with action, drama, and heart.

“Jagun Jagun” joins the ranks of other remarkable African cultural stories that have captivated audiences worldwide. Among these notable productions are the acclaimed “King of Thieves,” also co-produced by Anthill Studios, and the masterpieces “Ayinla” by Tunde Kelani, “Anikulapo” by Kunle Afolayan, “Eleshin Oba” by Mo Abudu, and “Òrìṣà” by Kola Odunlade, which premiered on July 21, 2023.
