Although 2023 hasn’t unfolded as a pinnacle year for Jamie Foxx, given his hospitalization in April due to an unforeseen health setback, he recently alluded to it as an “unanticipated venture into darkness.” But his commitment to his craft and his resilience against the setbacks orchestrated by Hollywood remain unshaken.
The latest update reveals that Foxx, undeterred by the incident, is set to continue gracing the silver screen, with his participation confirmed in the upcoming film Not Another Church Movie. Intriguingly, in this cinematic venture, Foxx is slated to embody none other than the divine role of God himself, akin to Morgan Freeman’s character in Bruce Almighty.

Anticipated for an autumn unveiling, the release date for Not Another Church Movie remains to be definitively etched. Amidst this air of suspense, James Michael Cummings, one of the film’s producers, imparted his thoughts upon the revelation that Jamie Foxx is poised to grace the upcoming comedy:
“We are thrilled to have Mr. Foxx be a part of this hilarious comedy and bring his incredible talent to the role of God, working with Foxx and Johnny Mack was a true blessing. This film is a unique blend of new and established talent, and we can’t wait to hear the laughs and for audiences to see the magic that happens on the big screen. This movie will not disappoint.”
