Focus Features has released the trailer for its upcoming satirical comedy, The American Society of Magical Negroes.

The film follows Aren, portrayed by Justice Smith, a young man navigating the intricacies of modern life. Little does he know that his world is about to be turned upside down when he is recruited into a clandestine society with a peculiar mission: to make white people's lives easier. The mysterious organization, aptly named The American Society of Magical Negroes, reveals a hidden layer of society where magical abilities are harnessed for a cause both absurd and bold.

As Aren is initiated into this secret world, he encounters a colorful ensemble of characters, each possessing unique magical gifts. David Alan Grier, An-Li Bogan, Drew Tarver, Michaela Watkins, Rupert Friend, and Nicole Byer round out the cast, infusing the film with humor that will keep audiences engaged.

The American Society of Magical Negroes is directed by Kobi Libii, an alumnus of the Sundance Screenwriters Lab and Directors Lab, marking his feature directorial debut.
