Megan Thee Stallion is bringing her talents to the big screen. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Houston hottie has been tapped to star in an upcoming musical comedy from award-winning production company A24, marking her first foray into film.
Titled Fucking Identical Twins, the R-rated musical puts a “subversive” spin on the classic 1998 movie The Parent Trap. It follows two business adversaries who realize they’re identical twin brothers and decide to switch places in order to reunite their divorced parents and become a family again.
