Children of Blood and Bone Official Trailer Reaction/ thoughts

The trailer for Children of Blood and Bone is finally here — and we have thoughts.

Gina Prince-Bythewood brings Tomi Adeyemi's beloved Afro-fantasy epic to the big screen, with Thuso Mbedu leading a stacked cast including Damson Idris, Viola Davis, Idris Elba, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and more. We're breaking down the first look at the world of Orïsha — what the trailer gets right, what has us hyped, and whether this January release could be the fantasy film we've been waiting for.

Children of Blood and Bone hits cinemas 15 January 2027.
