Metro Boomin premieres ‘Heroes and Villians’ short film starring Morgan Freeman and more ahead of his sophomore album’s release this upcoming Friday.
Metro Boomin has delivered the first look at his highly anticipated sophomore album “Heroes & Villains,” slated for release this upcoming Friday (Dec. 2), with a short film under the same name. Directed by Gibson Hazard, the action-packed seven-minute video stars Morgan Freeman, LaKeith Stanfield, Young Thug and Gunna, and also teases several of the new songs with 21 Savage, Future, Chris Brown and more.
“For years, Metro Boomin has protected the city from the unrelenting threat of evil,” Freeman says, narrating over comic book stills with the message of “Free YSL” emblazoned across cartoon flags. “With the light of the Boomanati headquarters, once a beacon of hope, has gone dark. In Metro’s absence, villains rise from the shadows.”
Suddenly, the film’s “new villain in town,” played by Stanfield, can be seen aboard a fire engine rushing through clouds of fire and debris while snippets of a song featuring 21 Savage play in the background.
