Jennifer Lopez is preparing for the mother of all roles…
The 53-year-old Puerto Rican superstar has shared the new posters for her upcoming Netflix drama The Mother.
In the two images for the film, which will premiere on May 12, Lopez stares into the distance with icy eyes while wearing a fur coat in a snowstorm, a cache of weapons slung over her left shoulder.
The intense images were shot by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz to promote the film, in which Lopez plays an assassin who comes out of retirement to protect the daughter she’s never met from murderous criminal bent on revenge.
The action adventure is the follow-up to last year’s Super Bowl halftime documentary Halftime, as well as the singer’s return to rom-coms, Shotgun Wedding.
The film’s trailer finds a jacked Lopez doing pull-ups in a frigid climate in a sports bra and beanie cap and toting a long gun around while hunting. “She needs protection right now,” a steely-eyed JLo says amid a montage in which she speaks to her teary daughter in a diner, rips through town in a high-speed chase and pulls off a variety of action sequences on motorcycles and snowmobiles.
“If there’s trouble… come find me,” she says ominously.
The rest of the cast for the film directed by Niki Caro includes Joseph Finnes, Lucy Paez, Omari Hardwick, Paul Raci and Gael Garcia Bernal.
Not much else is known about the film.
