Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre drop their explosive new Missionary short film, delivering Punisher-style justice with a telepathic twist.
Global icons Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre have officially released their Missionary short film (watch below), accompanying Snoop’s new album of the same name, out now via Death Row, Aftermath, and Interscope Records. The short film showcases Snoop and Dre as long-time hitmen—a duo with Punisher-like ruthlessness and telepathic superpowers.
The short film stars Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre and features Jhené Aiko and Alus, with a voice over by Method Man. Appearing in the post-credit-like scene is 50 Cent who says, “What you thought? You was the only one living that street super Punisher life?”
A Visual and Musical Powerhouse
The Missionary short film doubles as a cinematic extension of the album’s themes. It’s a gritty tale of revenge and redemption, with Snoop and Dre blending their killer instincts and newfound superpowers to take on a series of enemies. Their portrayal draws inspiration from Marvel’s Punisher but adds a supernatural edge with telepathic abilities that elevate their teamwork to another level.
The film arrives as Missionary—produced entirely by Dr. Dre—continues to dominate the music scene. Tracks like “Last Dance With Mary Jane” (featuring Jelly Roll and the late Tom Petty) have already captured fans’ attention, with Dre revealing that Petty had long envisioned this collaboration as a guaranteed hit.
Snoop and Dre: A Legacy Reborn
Missionary marks the first full-length collaboration between Snoop and Dre since Snoop’s 1993 debut, Doggystyle. The album showcases their unmatched chemistry across a lineup of powerhouse tracks featuring artists like Eminem, 50 Cent, Method Man, and Jhené Aiko. Highlights include “Hard Knocks,” blending martial drum beats with sharp lyricism, and “Another Part of Me,” where Sting lends his talents to a Message in a Bottle-inspired track.
Snoop sees this project as a peak moment in his career and says there is more to come:
“We [still] in love with what we do. I’m peaking right now and Dr. Dre see that. He brings the best out of me because he’s particular about everything I say, the way I deliver it, the fuckin’ music and the concept of the songs.”
Dr. Dre echoed the sentiment in a recent interview, calling Missionary some of the best music he’s ever recorded:
“This is some of the best music that I’ve ever recorded. We’re better together … It’s a love and respect. We can get in there and just have fun being creative and just experiment.”
