In a major move for its comedy slate, Lionsgate has officially acquired Ride or Die, a romantic buddy action-comedy set to star Marlon Wayans and Keke Palmer.
According to multiple reports, the film brings together Wayans and Palmer in a genre-blending story that combines romance, humor, and action—marking a fresh pairing of two of Hollywood’s most dynamic comedic talents.
Ride or Die is described as a “romantic buddy action-comedy,” signaling a mix of heartfelt relationship dynamics and high-energy storytelling. While specific plot details remain under wraps, the project is already generating buzz for its unique tone and the chemistry expected between its two leads.
For Wayans, the film continues his long-standing presence in comedy, from cult-favorite franchises to stand-up and film. Palmer, meanwhile, has been building momentum across film and television, recently starring in multiple high-profile projects that showcase her comedic timing and versatility.
The acquisition underscores Lionsgate’s continued investment in theatrical comedies, particularly those driven by star power and cross-genre appeal. The studio has seen success in recent years by backing character-driven comedies with strong ensemble casts, and Ride or Die appears poised to follow that model.
Production details, including a director and release date, have yet to be announced. However, with two major stars attached and a studio commitment secured, the film is expected to move forward quickly.
As anticipation builds, Ride or Die is shaping up to be one of the more exciting upcoming entries in the romantic comedy space—offering audiences a blend of laughs, action, and on-screen chemistry.
Stay tuned for more updates as the project develops.
