'Da 5 Bloods' follows Vietnam veterans who go back to the jungle to find their lost innocence.
Chadwick Boseman is set to star in Spike Lee's BlacKkKlansman follow-up Da 5 Bloods, which has been picked up by Netflix.

The movie follows Vietnam veterans who go back to the jungle to find their lost innocence and put their broken selves back together. Delroy Lindo, who has previously appeared in Lee films including Malcolm X, and Jean Reno will also star.

Lee and BlacKkKlansman writer Kevin Wilmott are behind the screenplay, based on the original by Danny Bilson and Paul DeMeo and a rewrite by Matthew Billingsley.

Beatriz and Lloyd Levin will produce the pic, along with Jon Kilik and Lee.

Da 5 Bloods will be Lee's first feature with the streamer, which is also behind the series adaptation of his 1986 movie She's Gotta Have It.

Boseman, who is repped by Michael Greene & Associates and Management 360, will next be seen in the STX crime thriller 17 Bridges. He also will appear as T'Challa in this summer's Avengers: Endgame.

Lee is repped by ICM.

Netflix has announced that Clarke Peters, Isiah Whitlock Jr., Norm Lewis, Mélanie Thierry and Jasper Pääkkönen have rounded out the cast of Academy Award winner Spike Lee’s Da 5 Bloods, a Vietnam War drama produced by Netflix and centered around a group of men returning to the jungle to reclaim their innocence.

They join previously announced Delroy Lindo, Jonathan Majors, Paul Walter Hauser with Jean Reno and Chadwick Boseman.



From Academy Award® Winner Spike Lee comes a new joint: the story of four African American vets (Delroy Lindo, Clarke Peters, Norm Lewis and Isaiah Whitlock Jr.) who return to Vietnam. Searching for the remains of their fallen squad leader (Chadwick Boseman) and the promise of buried treasure, our heroes battle forces of man and nature – while confronted by the lasting ravages of the immorality of the Vietnam War.
