Miguel is set to star in a movie musical co-produced by John Legend, Variety reports. He will play “a former one hit wonder who regains his love for music when he is hired to coach an aspiring singer for her audition on a singing competition show,” according to Variety.

The movie does not yet have a name. It’ll mark the feature film debut of Nabil Elderkin, who’s directed music videos for Nicki Minaj, Bon Iver, Frank Ocean, Kanye West, Antony and more. Legend, who recently won the Oscar for Best Original Song along with Common, will oversee the music. 

Miguel is also currently working on his new album, reportedly titled Wild Heart.
