Early last year it was reported that Kendrick Lamar was working with the creators of South Park, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, to cook up a comedy film that no one saw coming. Though the project is still very much a go, we won’t be able to see it until at least next year.

According to Variety, the untitled K. Dot comedy flick, which was slated to drop on July 4 this year, has now been pushed back to March 20, 2026, as Kung Fu Kenny continues to make the rounds on his Grand National Tour in 2025. With Kendrick’s schedule tied up from April 19 until Aug. 19, there’s no way the man can carve out the time to take part in his upcoming film. While we know fans will be disappointed in the news, at least we know the end product won’t be something rushed, as Lamar, Matt Stone, and Trey Parker will take the time to create something that fans will appreciate whenever it finally premieres on the silver screen.

Per Variety:

The change in release plans was announced ahead of CinemaCon, the annual convention of movie theater owners that’s unfolding this week in Las Vegas. Paramount, as well as Disney, Universal, Sony, Warner Bros., Universal and Amazon MGM will unveil presentations that are designed to hype the upcoming year’s slate of films.

As for Lamar’s movie, not a single detail — not the cast, logline or title — has been revealed at this point. What is known, however, is the live-action comedy is written by comedian Vernon Chatman and follows a young Black man who interns as a slave re-enactor at a living history museum.

Dave Free for pgLang will also produce with Lamar, Stone and Parker.

What’s the chance that the film somehow takes shots at Drake in some way, shape, or form? Just sayin.’

What are your expectations for the Kendrick Lamar comedy film? Let us know in the comments section below.
