Mbedu revealed she was first gifted the movie in 2019, and had manifested working on the film with big stars. She had journaled this dream, and it came to fruition, and she was humbled.

“Children of Blood and Bone” was gifted to me in 2019 and, truly, it’s one of the best gifts I’ve received. Upon reading it, I fell in love with it to the point that I made it a prayer point. Before heading to Philly earlier last year, I felt the most random need to go through old journals, and there it was: a prayer point, a bold ask to God to be the lead of this amazing story to sit here and draft this announcement is mind-boggling. To know that I have the opportunity to work with some of the most amazing people as we tell this great story is truly humbling. I’m so excited. I’m so grateful," Mbedu wrote.
