When the weight of the crown turns into a burden too heavy to bear, choices become daggers, and loyalty is tested in fire.
Welcome to The Masked King, a tale where power, betrayal, and sacrifice collide in an epic unraveling of fate. Directed by Uduak Obong Patrick, the film plunges into the turmoil of King Ensa—a ruler who, in turning against his people, sets off a chain of events that forces his own mother into a brutal dilemma. Does she stand by her son, bound by blood, or does she step into the storm and fight for the kingdom’s survival?
The trailer teases a spectacle of war drums and whispered conspiracies, of shifting alliances and desperate gambits. The throne, once a seat of honor, now stands on shaky ground as the fate of a people hangs in the balance.
Leading the charge in this high-stakes drama is a powerhouse cast: Daniel Etim Effiong, Shaffy Bello, Uche Montana, Segun Arinze, Uzor Arukwe, Gideon Okeke, Jude Chukwuka, Bernard Raubenheimer, and Jenny Stead—all delivering performances that promise to grip audiences from the first frame to the last.
With a theatrical release set for March 28, 2025, The Masked King is more than just a film, it is a reckoning.
