Director Gina Prince-Bythewood’s goal for The Woman King was to create a sprawling epic based on a group of all-female warriors in Africa.

The Woman King tells the story of the all-female Agojie warriors in the African Kingdom of Dahomey. Filming in Africa presented a challenge for the production, but the location allowed Morgan to highlight the colors and tones of the period. DEADLINE: What were the early conversations with Prince-Bythewood about what she wanted for the cinematography? POLLY MORGAN: I think Gina wanted to lean into the genre of historical epics and give the movie a lot of scope and really capture the beauty of the landscape and lean into the colors of the environment.
