According to an official press release by FilmOne Entertainment, record-breaking Nollywood filmmaker Funke Akindele has officially announced her upcoming feature film titled *The Four: No One Fights Alone*.
The action-packed drama is slated for a worldwide theatrical premiere on December 11, 2026. The announcement marks Akindele’s immediate return to cinema production following her massive historic box office achievements across West Africa.
The star-studded cast features an ensemble including Bisola Aiyeola, Chioma Chukwuka, and singer Waje alongside Akindele herself. Pre-production teasers indicate a high-stakes narrative centered around sisterhood, resilience, and survival.
Confirming the announcement, entertainment publication BellaNaija highlighted the massive industry anticipation surrounding the production, noting that “Funke Akindele is back with another big-screen adventure following her landmark run at the box office”. Furthermore, Pulse Nigeria verified the release timetable, quoting FilmOne’s distribution brief that describes the title as “a powerful new drama starring an all-star Nollywood ensemble set for global release on December 11”.
Akindele’s December box office slot has traditionally dominated Nigerian cinema revenue, making this project an immediate commercial contender. Theatre operators will monitor audience reception closely to see if *The Four* can replicate or surpass her previous record-shattering theatrical grosses.
