Mahershala Ali Leads Bassam Tariq's 'Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother' After Blade Departure

In Bassam Tariq's film 'Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother,' Mahershala Ali takes center stage, a rare occurrence in his nearly 30-year career, marking only his second time as the lead. The film debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival in mid-September and is set to hit select theaters on September 25, with a nationwide release planned for October. Ali portrays Latif, a Muslim hitman on a quest for breast milk for his baby daughter while dodging Pastor Hwan Yoon, played by John Cho. Ali mentioned that this role is his first action-centric part where his character survives beyond the initial scenes. After the premiere, he headed to Philadelphia to film season two of HBO's 'Task.' Ali has previously won Academy Awards for 'Moonlight' (2017) and 'Green Book' (2019).
