Warner Bros. Pictures revealed plans today to release their upcoming Black Panther Party related project ‘Judas and the Black Messiah’ on February 12,2021 in both theaters and on HBO Max. In case you need a refresher, check out the trailer below:

The plot is centered around FBI informant William O’Neal, played by Lakeith Stanfield, who infiltrates the Illinois Black Panther Party and is assigned to report back about the movements of Chairman Fred Hampton. A career thief, O’Neal revels in the danger of manipulating both his comrades and his handler, Special Agent Roy Mitchell. Hampton’s political prowess grows just as he’s falling in love with fellow revolutionary Deborah Johnson. Meanwhile, a battle wages for O’Neal’s soul. Will he align with the forces of good? Or subdue Hampton and The Panthers by any means, as FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover commands?

‘Jesus and the Black Messiah’ is directed by Shaka King from a screenplay and Will Berso co-wrote. The film was produced by Ryan Coogler and MACRO’s Charles D. King.
