Thornton Heath grime artist Stormzy has already shaken up the music world and now he’s heading to the big screen too.
The 22-year-old Mobo-winning rapper, whose real name is Michael Omari, will star alongside Noel Clarke in BrOTHERHOOD.
The film is the final part in actor, writer and director Clarke’s trilogy which was started a decade ago by 2006’s Kidulthood and 2008’s Adulthood, the latter of which was a UK number one at the box office.
Clarke, who has also appeared in Star Trek Into Darkness and Doctor Who, reprises the role of Sam as he faces up to a new world after Adulthood and realises it comes with new problems.
Former Harris Academy South Norwood pupil Stormzy will play Yardz.
Brotherhood is set for release on September 2.
