Richard Mofe-Damijo, Chioma Akpotha, Waje & More Join Funke Akindele in “The Four: No One Fights Alone”

Funke Akindele Assembles Star-Studded Cast for December Film “The Four: No One Fights Alone”

Nollywood powerhouse Funke Akindele is gearing up to dominate the December cinema season once again with her latest project, The Four: No One Fights Alone. Set for a global release on December 11, 2026, through FilmOne Entertainment, the film has already generated serious buzz thanks to an impressive ensemble cast that bridges Nollywood royalty with Afrobeats talent.

Akindele, who wrote, directed, and produced the film under her Funke Akindele Network banner, leads the project alongside Bisola Aiyeola, Chioma Akpotha, and Nigerian singer Waje—marking the celebrated vocalist’s continued expansion into acting. The supporting cast reads like a who’s who of Nigerian entertainment: veteran Richard Mofe-Damijo (RMD), Antar Laniyan, Ronke Oshodi Oke, Ali Nuhu, Timini Egbuson, Lateef Adedimeji, Uzor Arukwe, and Wunmi Toriola. In an exciting crossover moment, Afrobeats artist Shoday joins the cast, alongside Samuel Banks, Kolapo Omotosho, and Ayomide Iwasokun.

The film centers on Esosa and three fiercely loyal women determined to protect a young man’s future at all costs. Themes of loyalty, sacrifice, courage, and family anchor the narrative—territory Akindele has proven masterful at exploring in her previous box office hits. The announcement imagery showcases the cast in striking traditional and contemporary Nigerian fashion, with styling by Zack Styling Luxury, costumes from Ola Reay and ASO Nigeria, and photography by Deji Oluokun. From Chioma Akpotha’s statement bubble hairstyle and pink traditional ensemble to Shoday’s bold red splash-print jacket, the visual presentation alone signals Akindele’s attention to cultural detail and aesthetic storytelling.

With Funke Akindele’s proven track record of delivering December blockbusters and this caliber of talent both in front of and behind the camera, The Four: No One Fights Alone is already positioning itself as one of the must-see Nigerian films when holiday season arrives. The blend of established actors and musicians-turned-actors reflects the growing synergy between Nollywood and the Afrobeats world—a cultural fusion that continues to elevate African storytelling on the global stage.
