Three different actors will play the rapper at various stages in his life.

Overnight, 21 Savage confirmed some rumors that had been swirling around for weeks. The rumors stated that he was working on an autobiographical film telling his life story and they turned out to be true. He shared a movie poster announcing American Dream: The 21 Savage Story. Alongside the poster, he also made the reveal that Donald Glover and Stranger Things alum Caleb McLaughlin were included in the project.

Now just a few hours later, Savage shared a trailer for the upcoming film on YouTube. The trailer shows off some of the events the film is expected to cover. It goes all the way back to Savage's youth detailing the story of how he arrived at rap music. The trailer concludes with the scene where he, played by Donald Glover, chooses his rap name 21 Savage. Much of the trailer seems to deal with his controversial arrest by ICE that shocked fans in 2019. Numerous scenes shown in the trailer take place in an interrogation room.

Another thing the film's trailer reveals is the musical elements it will deploy. Much of the 4 minute trailer is a music video of sorts even featuring Savage himself rapping in an interrogation room.

It features a link to pre-save the music from the film on various streaming platforms.
