As reported by Variety, Thuso Mbedu has been chosen to play the role of Zélie. Notably, she was previously featured in “The Woman King,” a film directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood and co-starring Viola Davis and Lashana Lynch. Intriguingly, both Gina Prince-Bythewood and Viola Davis will be involved in the upcoming production of “Children of Blood and Bone” – with Davis taking on the role of Mama Agba. The reunion of “The Woman King” also includes Lashana Lynch, who portrays Jumoke, while Ayedemi will act as an executive producer for the project.

Completing the impressive cast of “Children of Blood and Bone” are Cynthia Ervio as Admiral Kaea and Idris Elba in the role of Lekan.
