Double Oscar winner Mahershala Ali has finally found the right project to make his debut as lead actor in a feature film. Ali, who won Oscars for his supporting roles in "Green Book" and "Moonlight," is starring in the new drama "Swan Song," which will begin streaming on Apple TV+ on Dec. 27. "Whether youre leading or supporting or in an ensemble, youre always trying to look for good material," Ali said. "And especially being an actor of color in this business and coming up there ... if you see yourself a certain way and you want to be of a certain type of ilk ... you get stuck in these little weird pockets if youre not careful." "Swan Song" is set in the near future and tells the story of a terminally ill man who gets a chance to duplicate himself to save his family from the sadness of his passing. While it sounds high tech, co-star Naomie Harris said its not a sci-fi movie. "I think its ultimately about love. Its an ode to love and real love, not the romanticized version of love, but real deep, meaningful love," Harris said. The movie is director Benjamin Clearys feature film debut. Cleary won an Oscar in 2016 for his short film "Stutterer." Cleary hopes "Swan Song" sparks thought-provoking conversations around death. "I hope its getting us to ask, What would what would you do in the situation? and starting some interesting emotional conversations for people," Cleary said.
