First trailer for Suicide Squad, Star Wars and James Bond stars' new movie
msn.comStar Wars, James Bond and The Suicide Squad actors have united for a new film, inspired by true events in Black history. The Woman King tells the story of an all-female unit of warriors called the Agojie, who were the protectors of the African Kingdom of Dahomey back in the 1800s.
In the film, a new generation of warriors are led by General Nanisca as they train to fight against a force that want to destroy their very way of life itself: an invasion of Europeans looking to expand their territory overseas and colonise the world.

The Underground Railroad's Thuso Mbedu also stars as new recruit Nawi, who looks like she might be the audience perspective character.
The Old Guard director Gina Prince-Bythewood helmed this one, having also co-written the screenplay with Fatherhood scribe and Reckless creator Dana Stevens, based on a story from Maria Bello.
