The Get Out star Daniel Kaluuya has been cast in an upcoming thriller from Netflix.
Kaluuya has exceeded his status as a rising star and is now regarded as one of the most promising actors of our generation. He caught everyone’s attention when he starred in an episode of Black Mirror and has since appeared in Black Panther and of course, Jordan Peele’s social thriller Get Out.
Now, Netflix has confirmed that Kaluuya will star in the upcoming thriller, Judas and the Black Messiah. The actor will not only star in the film, but he will also produce. The movie is based on the Femi Fadugba novel, The Upper World.
The novel follows a man named Esso who learns that he can access a world that gives him glimpses into both the past and the future. In 2035, he meets Rhia, and seeks out her help.
The thriller will have political undertones and with Kaluuya’s fingerprints all over it, we are expecting big things.
Judas and the Black Messiah is scheduled for a 2021 release.
