Vince Staples and RZA are using their vocal excellence for another lane as they both star in the upcoming anime film, MFKZ. The movie was first released last year in France through Ankama Animations and Japan’s Studio 4°C with an original title of Mutafukaz. The Guillaume “Run” Renard directed and Shōjirō Nishimi animated project follows Angelino and Vinz who discover they have superpowers and use them to fight crime in an L.A. inspired city setting.
“We are super excited to be working with Studio 4°C and Ankama to release MFKZ in North America,” GKIDS (animation company) founder and CEO Eric Beckman said. “This is a blistering, genre-breaking animated film for adults, unlike anything that has come before. We are thrilled with the voice cast and can’t wait to share this film with audiences on October 11th.”
MFKZ hits select North American theatres October 11th and October 16th. Check out the official trailer below.
