\n\tAmazon MGM<\/a> has released the official trailer for \u201cAli G: Who Iz I?<\/a>,\u201d a new mockumentary following Sacha Baron Cohen<\/a>\u2019s swaggering London bad boy.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAfter 20 years spent chillin\u2019, tokin\u2019 and bonin\u2019, Ali G is shocked to discover that his long-term girlfriend, Julie (Morgana Robinson), is eight months pregnant,\u201d its official synopsis reads. \u201cFaced with an extra mouth to feed, he gets off his batty and heads to America to reclaim his former glory\u2026 but soon encounters adversaries who will ultimately threaten his and his child\u2019s very existence.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tCohen first developed the titular character as part of Channel 4\u2019s \u201cThe 11 O\u2019Clock Show\u201d in 1998 before getting his own series, \u201cDa Ali G Show,\u201d in the early 2000s. 2002 brought the release of the first Ali G movie, \u201cAli G Indahouse,\u201d which was helmed by \u201cSuccession\u201d director Mark Mylod.<\/p>\n

\n\tCohen filmed \u201cWho Iz I?\u201d in secret, just like he did with \u201cBorat,\u201d \u201cBr\u00fcno\u201d and his TV series \u201cWho Is America?\u201d Cohen\u2019s brand of comedy revolves around him embodying outlandish characters and then provoking a reaction from onlookers. As Ali G, he\u2019s interviewed Noam Chomsky, Andy Rooney and Newt Gingrich.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe three-time Oscar nominee unveiled the project<\/a> in a video posted to his Instagram in July. In character as Ali G, he captioned the post, \u201cDey haz finally made a documentary about me. And it ain\u2019t dat crap one about da penguins, dis one haz got at least twice as much animal sex.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe film marks Cohen\u2019s directorial debut, and he also serves as writer and producer under his Four by Two Films Banner. Petr J\u00e1kl and Emily Kob are executive producers.<\/p>\n

\n\tOutside of his own films, Cohen recently played the villainous Mephisto on the Marvel Disney+ series \u201cIronheart.\u201d He also starred in \u201cLadies First\u201d for Netflix and \u201cBalls Up\u201d for Prime Video.<\/p>\n
