Singer John Legend has joined the team behind the virtual reality series Rainbow Crow, which is based around Native American folklore.

The 38-year-old singer has been cast to play the title role in Rainbow Crow, an episodic series produced by Baobab Studios with Eric Darnell – who directed Antz and the Madagascar movies – set to direct, reported Entertainment Weekly.

Speaking about the series – which he is also set to executive produce – the All of Me singer says, “The story is really about community. It's about love, it's about inclusion, it's about sacrifice and doing something for the greater good.”

The first chapter of the series will be unveiled at the Tribeca Film Festival later this month and is inspired by a Lenape myth about the origin of fire.

John's character is a plumed bird who is nominated by the other animals to bring warmth back to the world during darkness and cold.
