The project, an Apple Original in collaboration with A24, will see Rocky playing Yung Felon, a role confirmed by Lee following rumors sparked by set photos.

The filmfeatures a star-studded cast, including Denzel Washington, Ice Spice, Jeffrey Wright, and Ilfenesh Hadera. Ice Spice, making her acting debut, was announced as part of the cast earlier this year.

Spike Lee clarified that the film is not a remake but a fresh take on Kurosawa’s story, with Denzel Washington portraying a music mogul instead of the original film’s shoemaker protagonist. Highest 2 Lowest marks the fifth collaboration between Spike Lee and Denzel Washington.

ASAP Rocky, who debuted in 2015’s Dope, continues to expand his acting portfolio following appearances in Zoolander 2 and Rihanna’s short film Born to Steal: Yours, Mine, Ours.
