Details about the plot are still under wraps, but the film’s title hints at a dramatic exploration of power, downfall, and perhaps redemption—classic themes that both Lee and Washington have navigated masterfully in past works like Malcolm X and He Got Game. The project is already generating buzz as one of the most anticipated films of the year, with fans eager to see what the duo brings to the screen next.

Highest 2 Lowest is being produced by A24 in collaboration with Apple and is expected to offer the kind of socially resonant, visually compelling storytelling Lee is known for—paired with Washington’s commanding presence and emotional range.

Production is set to begin later this year, with a tentative release date expected in 2026.

This reunion between two icons of Black cinema reaffirms their ability to tell bold, timely stories that resonate far beyond the screen.
