Core cast members Funke Akindele, Bisola Aiyeola, and Waje, who star as the main group of women in the film The Four: No One Fights Alone.
Have you heard? Funke Akindele is officially getting ready for another December cinema run, and this one already has people talking. The actress and filmmaker has announced her new movie, The Four: No One Fights Alone, which is set for a global cinema release on 11 December 2026 through FilmOne Entertainment.
One thing Funke never jokes about is casting, and The Four is packed with familiar faces. She stars in the film alongside Bisola Aiyeola, Chioma Akpotha, and Waje, with the four women at the centre of the story. The cast also includes Richard Mofe-Damijo (RMD), Antar Laniyan, Ronke Oshodi Oke, Ali Nuhu, Timini Egbuson, Lateef Adedimeji, Uzor Arukwe, and Wunmi Toriola. As if that wasn’t enough, Shoday, Samuel Banks, Kolapo Omotosho, and Ayomide Iwasokun are also part of the project.
According to the announcement, the story follows Esosa and three loyal women who will do everything they can to protect a young man’s future. Loyalty, courage, sacrifice, and family are right at the centre of the film, and knowing Funke, there will probably be a few emotional moments that will have people talking long after they leave the cinema.
Funke wrote, directed, and produced the film under the Funke Akindele Network, and the announcement visuals already give a glimpse of the world she is building. The cast appeared in a mix of tailored looks and structured traditional outfits, with styling by Zack Styling Luxury, costumes from Ola Reay and ASO Nigeria, and photography led by Deji Oluokun.
If there is one thing we can say with confidence, it is that December cinema season has officially entered the group chat. Between the cast, the first look, and Funke’s track record with December releases, “The Four: No One Fights Alone” is already shaping up to be one of the Nigerian films everyone will be watching when the holidays roll around.
