McConaughey Returns With 'Quill' Song

Matthew McConaughey has made his return to acting after a five-year hiatus with the movie 'The Rivals of Amziah King', in which he performs the song 'Quill' in a scene. The movie, directed by Andrew Patterson, is set to release in select theaters.

The Rivals of Amziah King was shot in 2023 and premiered at South by Southwest in 2025. McConaughey plays the role of Amziah King, a small town beekeeper and honey manufacturer, in the movie. He is paired opposite Angelina LookingGlass, who plays the role of Kateri, Amziah King's foster daughter.

The movie marks McConaughey's first live-action role since 2019's The Gentlemen. He had taken a break from Hollywood to focus on writing several books. McConaughey's wife, Camila Alves, and their three kids, Levi, Vida, and Livingston, attended a special viewing of The Rivals of Amziah King in Austin, Texas.

## What to Expect The Rivals of Amziah King is a wild ride that digs deep into the logistics of the honey business, the texture of life in rural Oklahoma, and the ways in which a narrative can turn on its head in an instant. The movie has twists aplenty, both in what happens on screen and the story behind its release.

The release of The Rivals of Amziah King has been long-awaited, with the movie finally hitting select theaters after a delay. Director Andrew Patterson spent years developing the project, and the movie's release feels hard-earned. McConaughey's performance as Amziah King is magnetic, charming, and mysterious, and he is paired opposite a breakout star in Angelina LookingGlass.

## Context The Rivals of Amziah King is not the only project that McConaughey has been working on. He recently revealed on a podcast that he once used his connection to Jennifer Lopez to get out of a traffic stop in Mexico. However, his focus is now on his return to acting, and The Rivals of Amziah King is a highly anticipated movie that is set to release in select theaters.
