Nollywood filmmaker and actress Funke Akindele has launched promotions for her upcoming film, “The Four: No One Fights Alone,” a story following four women on different journeys who unite, with the project scheduled to open in cinemas on December 11, 2026.
The film carries the tagline “No One Fights Alone,” positioning the central narrative around a group of women who come together across their individual paths. Akindele announced the project alongside a cast reveal that features high-fashion portraits of the assembled performers.
The cast includes Akindele herself alongside singer Waje, actress Bisola Aiyeola, and veteran Nollywood actress Chioma Chukwuka, forming a core group of women whose stories anchor the film’s central premise about unity and shared struggle. The four women are presented as the dramatic heart of the production, with the promotional materials foregrounding their collective presence throughout the campaign.
Veteran actor Richard Mofe-Damijo also features in the ensemble, alongside Timini Egbuson and Lateef Adedimeji, extending the film’s cast across multiple generations of Nollywood talent. Additional cast members have been confirmed for the production, signaling a wide ensemble that stretches beyond the central quartet.
Cast member Mide Iwasokun expressed pride in the upcoming production, joining fellow cast member Kola Omotosho in publicly welcoming the film’s announcement. Both performers described the project as a forthcoming blockbuster during the promotional launch, lending their voices to an early wave of cast-driven enthusiasm surrounding the film.
The December 11 release date continues Akindele’s established pattern of scheduling major theatrical releases during the holiday cinema period. The filmmaker has built a reputation for targeting the festive season window with her productions, a strategy that has previously placed her films among the most commercially visible Nollywood releases of the year.
The promotional campaign introduced the cast through vibrant, high-fashion portrait photography, presenting each performer in a visual style consistent with a wide theatrical release campaign. The portraits were released as part of the formal promotion launch.
Akindele takes a central role in the film both as a performer and as the driving creative force behind the production. Her appearance in the cast portraits places her alongside the three other leading women at the heart of the story.
The film’s tagline, “No One Fights Alone,” reflects the narrative structure of four women whose separate journeys bring them into a collective story. The promotional materials released so far position that unity as the film’s core dramatic thread.
Waje, who is known primarily as a singer, features among the leading women of the cast, extending the film’s reach beyond traditional Nollywood acting circles. Her inclusion, alongside other cast members, adds musical industry presence to the ensemble.
Bisola Aiyeola, who has built a profile across both music and acting in Nigeria, also appears among the film’s prominent cast members. Her casting alongside Chioma Chukwuka and Waje completes the central quartet with Akindele in the production.
Richard Mofe-Damijo’s involvement brings one of Nollywood’s most recognized senior performers into the project. Timini Egbuson and Lateef Adedimeji, both prominent in contemporary Nollywood productions, round out the confirmed male cast members named in the announcement.
The film’s promotional launch drew public responses from within the cast itself, with Mide Iwasokun and Kola Omotosho each expressing pride in their involvement. Their statements formed part of the wider rollout of promotional content tied to the December cinema date.
“The Four: No One Fights Alone” arrives as Akindele continues a tradition of holiday-season cinema releases. With the December 11, 2026 date confirmed, “The Four” positions Funke Akindele once again at the center of the Nollywood festive box office calendar.
