Lakeith Stanfield is on a roll!
All you need to know about his new Netflix deal below!
Stanfield has found a friend in LeSean Thomas (The Boondocks) and together they have built a brand new Flying Lotus-backed anime series for the streaming platform Netflix.
In a war-torn feudal Japan of mechs and magic, a retired ronin must take up his sword when he is charged with the task of transporting a mysterious child who dark forces want to eliminate.
Lakeith will portray a character based on a real African samurai who fought alongside the 16th century warrior Oda Nobunga.
His name was Yasuke.
Stay tuned to TGJ for more on this exciting project.
