A24 has revealed the first trailer for the studio’s first-ever musical, titled Dicks: The Musical, starring Megan Thee Stallion (in her first big screen role), Nathan Lane, Megan Mullally and Bowen Yang.
The musical was written by the film’s stars Aaron Jackson and Josh Sharp, who play the titular “dicks,” self-obsessed, not-so-identical twins who plot to bring who they believe to be their birth parents (Lane and Mullally) back together.
Megan Thee Stallion shows up in the trailer in the role of what appears to be the twins’ boss, delivering some workplace rhymes in the preview. “Y’all just servants / This my palace / Built it brick-by-brick,” she raps. “So get in line / Drop on your knees / And suck my fucking dick.”
Yang also briefly appears in the trailer, playing the role of God. Dicks: The Musical was helmed by longtime Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm director Larry Charles.
Dicks: The Musical arrives in theaters on September 29; before that, the film will debut to open the Toronto International Film Festival’s Midnight Madness programming this month.
The movie marks Megan Thee Stallion’s big-screen debut after a few TV gigs; the rapper previously appeared as herself on She-Hulk in addition to roles on shows like P-Valley and Good Girls.
