Hi friends, fasten your seatbelts, because Mahershala Ali is about to blow our minds with his new action thriller Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother on Amazon! The title may sound a bit strange, but this movie is going to be a total fire, trust me! Deadline dropped a crazy cast update on April 17, 2025, and I’m already super excited. Directed by Bassam Tariq, the movie has a lot of stars alongside Ali, and it’s going to be action as well as feel. Let’s check out the details!
Ali & Tariq Comeback: Total Bomb!
Marvel fans know that Ali and Tariq wanted to reboot Blade together—Ali as a super cool vampire hunter, Tariq as the director. But that project got a little sloppy. Tariq is out in 2022, Blade is still stuck, and we’re still asking, “What the hell, Marvel?” But here’s the good news: Ali and Tariq are teaming up again for Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother, and it’s going to be totally magical!
There are no full details about the story yet—Amazon is in secret mode—but rumors suggest that Ali will play a lone assassin, someone who is having serious thoughts about life. That means there will be bombs, fights, guns, and some deep emotional scenes. Tariq, who gave a strong movie like Mogul Mowgli, will take this movie to the next level, I know for sure!
The cast is amazing, bro!
Now let’s get to the real thing: the cast. Deadline released this cast list, and my jaw dropped. Check out who else is joining Ali:
John Cho—Star Trek, Searching, always classy.
Giancarlo Esposito—Breaking Bad, Boss-level performance in The Boys, and that’s it when he gets in the scene!
Trammell Tillman—Silent scene stealer in Severance.
Tiffany Boone—Voiced Mufasa in The Lion King, and is ready to rock here.
Plus, new stars: Abubakar Ali (Anything’s Possible), Laith Nakli (Problemista), Audia (Full Circle), Jahlil Kamara (Nanny).
Bro, this cast is like setting up an Avengers team! I'm already imagining fight scenes, drama, and maybe some shocking twists. This gang is sure to light up the movie!
Mahershala Ali is the man!
Need I say one word about Mahershala Ali? A legend who won two Oscars for Moonlight and Green Book. But he's not just a drama, he's also a king of action! Have you seen Leave the World Behind on Netflix? 121 million views in a month, so no big deal. We've been waiting for him to crush vampires as Blade—he's voice-teased in Eternals, and will appear in Marvel Zombies in October 2025—but in this Amazon movie, he's just turning on action hero mode.
Enter Bassam Tariq!
Speaking of director Bassam Tariq, he's not your typical action director. Mogul won awards at the Berlin Film Festival with his movie Mowgli, which is a story that gives serious feelings about identity. He has also done documentaries, which means telling real stories is his thing. He calls this movie an “innovative action film”, and I was thinking “Hey, what is this?”. Will Mogul have fights with a Mowgli-like vibe? New style action? Tariq, you have won my heart!
Producers Lukan Toh and Babak Anwari (who made tough movies like Asphalt City) are also on board. Tariq is writing and directing, so this is his baby, it will definitely fire.
What is the status of the movie?
There is no release date yet, no trailer, and there is no clarity on when the shooting will start. But looking at this cast announcement, it is clear that the movie is in full swing. Amazon MGM Studios is making this under its Orion Pictures banner, the same team that gave hits like Nickel Boys. It was also highlighted at the 2025 CinemaCon, so if it releases theatrically, it will be a hit. Seeing this cast on screen? Goosebumps guaranteed!
One word about that title. Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother is next-level crazy. People in X are joking about it, “What, is it a typing mistake?” But I like the boldness. Maybe there’s some code in the story, or maybe they just put it in to shock us. Whatever, it’s the talk of the town!
Why am I so excited?
If Blade is still stuck, Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother gives us a chance to enjoy the Ali and Tariq combo. The cast is on fire, Amazon is giving full support, and Orion Pictures has a solid track record. I'm telling you right now, this action thriller will be the talk of the town next year.
What do you think? Are you ready to see Ali as an assassin with deep thoughts? Or are you already tongue-twisted at the title? Comment your feelings, let's wait for the trailer. This movie is sure to bomb!
