Megan Thee Stallion is bringing her talents to A24’s first-ever movie musical.
On Thursday, A24 debuted the trailer for Dicks: The Musical, which features the rapper as the boss of two New York City businessmen who realize they are long-lost twins and try to reunite their parents.
The trailer introduces screenwriters Aaron Jackson and Josh Sharp as Craig Tiddle and Trevor Brock, two arrogant businessmen who realize they each own one half of a heart-shaped locket that indicates they are brothers.
Between this discovery and their boss’s assertion that the pair look like twins, the newfound brothers try to trick their divorced parents (played by Megan Mullally and Nathan Lane) into getting back together in a plot reminiscent of the 1998 Lindsay Lohan movie The Parent Trap.
Megan, 28, raps in the trailer about the business her character runs, while the brothers’ parents discuss what to do now that their sons have found each other.

An official synopsis describes the film as a “riotously funny and depraved musical.”
The film’s trailer teases musical numbers titled “Gay Old Life,” “All Love Is Love,” “Out-Alpha The Alpha” and “The Sewer Song,” as well as Saturday Night Live star Bowen Yang’s performance as God, per a synopsis.
