In the trailer, viewers are introduced to Jharrel Jerome as Anthony and Jennifer Lopez as his supportive mother. The story chronicles Anthony’s journey as he defies his physical limitations to make a name for himself in the wrestling world. Anthony’s coach, Bobby Williams (played by Michael Peña), challenges him with the question, “Why do you wrestle?” to which Anthony replies, “When people look at me, the first thing they see is what’s missing.” As he faces challenges both inside and outside the ring, Anthony adds, “If I win, having one leg won’t be the most important thing about me.”
The trailer highlights the strong bond between mother and son, with Jennifer’s character delivering an uplifting message: “You make people believe in something. When they see you, they don’t see someone who’s missing a leg. They see someone who is unstoppable.” These words set the emotional tone of the film, which combines the grit of wrestling matches with the heartfelt support of family.
Unstoppable will premiere in select theaters on December 6 before it arrives on Prime Video on January 16, 2025.
