Femi Branch Shines in Netflix’s “House of Ga’a”
Ace Nollywood actor Femi Branch is currently in the spotlight for his standout performance in the Netflix original “House of Ga’a.” Branch’s portrayal of the main character, Bashorun Ga’a, has garnered reactions from colleagues, friends, and Nigerians alike. In an interview with Sunday Scoop, Branch discussed his role in the movie, the evolution of Nollywood, and the influx of new talent in the industry. He emphasized the need to prioritize talent and skill over appearance in casting decisions, stating, “The growth of Nollywood over the last few years has been exponential. The influx of new talents has been on a steady rise. But there is the need to pick talents over good looks.”
Branch also shared the challenges of playing Bashorun Ga’a, a real-life figure whose family and friends would be watching his performance. He described the rigorous preparation required, saying, “I had to die for two months so Ga’a could come alive.” His dedication to the role has been widely recognized, with various celebrities praising his work.
Among those who reacted to Branch’s performance was singer Adekunle Gold, who expressed his admiration in a post on X. Additionally, Grammy award winner Burna Boy created a buzz after endorsing Femi Adebayo’s movie “Jagun Jagun” in a viral video. While hanging out with Asake, Burna Boy revealed his love for the movie, humorously explaining that this was why he emulated the character Ogundiji.
Fans of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will have to wait a bit longer for the next movie. The sequel to the popular 2023 animated film, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem 2, has been delayed. It was originally set to come out on October 9, 2026, but now the release date has been pushed back to September 17, 2027.
The delay is mainly due to hold-ups in the animation production process. While this is disappointing, it’s a common challenge when making high-quality animated films. The studio behind the movie, Paramount Pictures, has also shifted other big releases around the same time, including The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender, which moved from early 2026 to late 2026.
Jeff Rowe, who directed the first Mutant Mayhem, is coming back to lead this sequel. He’ll be joined by co-directors Kyler Spears and Yashar Kassai. The story is expected to focus more on the villain Shredder, who made a dramatic appearance at the end of the first movie. Rowe described the sequel as a “villain-forward” story, promising a darker and more intense look at the Turtles’ greatest enemy.
The voice cast from the first movie will also return, including Micah Abbey, Shamon Brown Jr., Nicolas Cantu, and Brady Noon as the four Ninja Turtles.
The production team includes Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, who are once again producing the film through their company, Point Grey Pictures.
To keep fans entertained while they wait, Paramount has launched Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, an animated series that connects the first movie with the upcoming sequel. The first season premiered on Paramount+ in August 2024, with a second season expected later this year.
Though the wait is longer than anyone hoped, this delay shows that the studio is focused on making sure the next Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film meets the high standards fans expect. Until then, viewers can enjoy the adventures in the Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series as they count down the months until the Turtles’ return to theaters in 2027.
