Spike Lee’s “Da 5 Bloods,” starring Chadwick Boseman, Paul Walter Hauser, Norm Lewis, Delroy Lindo, Giancarlo Esposito, and Jonathan Majors, comes to Netflix on June 12th. Spike announced it this morning on Twitter. He’s got a full beard and he’s grinning like the Cheshire cat. Maybe it’s because this one looks like the One, and it will be eligible for Oscars thanks to the pandemic (new streaming rules for this year).

“Da 5 Bloods” is written by Danny Bilson and Paul De Meo with adaptions by Lee and Kevin Wilmott. According to Wikipedia: “Four African American Vietnam veterans return to Vietnam. They are in search of the remains of their fallen squad leader and the promise of buried treasure. These heroes battle forces of humanity and nature while confronted by the lasting ravages of the immorality of the Vietnam War.”
