Synopsis: ‘Millie (Berry) is a hardworking single mom with a soft spot for strays. When Kings begins, she already has eight children living in her house and will soon bring home another. Her neighbor Obie (Craig) is the local loose cannon, and the only white man in an area largely inhabited by African Americans, Latinos, and Koreans. With racial tensions running dangerously high, Millie and Obie would appear to be unlikely allies. Yet following the acquittal of four of the officers accused of beating Rodney King, these two must navigate the gathering chaos in the city to bring Millie’s kids home safely.’
Kings premiered at the Toronto International FIlm Festival last year to okay reviews. It’s due to hit cinemas in the US in April.

Last April it was reported that the Marvel Universe was going to get a bit more gay with Black Panther, with Vanity Fair reporting on a scene they’d viewed which featured a flirtatious exchange between Okuye (Danai Gurira) and Ayo (Florence Kasumba). The magazine suggested the movie would have more gay content than this, and that as in the 2016 comic World of Wakanda, the two would become a couple.
Who is Mary Magdalene? She’s probably best known for being a prostitute – although the problem with that is that it doesn’t actually say she was in The Bible. Her lady of the night reputation came along much later. More recently Dan Brown decided she was Jesus’ wife. But who was she really?
Most studios making family films try to get the sequel into cinemas as quickly as possible, as they’re worried the original audience will have grown too old to want to see it is they wait too long.
