It looks likeJennifer Lopezis ready for anything, asNetflixhas released two new posters for their upcoming film,The Mother. In this new adventure, Lopez will play a former assassin who will come out of retirement when her daughter is placed in danger. Since the pair don’t have a strong relationship, the protagonist will try to fix their bond while saving their lives at the same time. Trouble will always be around the corner, in this new action story hitting the platform next month. After all, the actress has felt really comfortable storming through complicated action pieces before.
Lopez has appeared in several notable action movies, includingPrime Video’sShotgun Weddinglast year, where she played a bride who wasn’t going to let anyone ruin her special day. When Darcy (Lopez) and Tom (Josh Duhamel) go to a remote island for their wedding, they realize their friends and families have been kidnaped in an attempt to get a large amount of rescue money. What the bad guys didn’t count on was the couple’s ability to handle any potential threats, blasting their way through an adventure that would eventually reveal that Darcy’s ex-partner was behind the attack. If there ever was a list of awkward wedding receptions, this would definitely earn a place close to the top.
The Motherwill be only the beginning in what appears to be a successful partnership between Lopez and Netflix, as her next movie,Atlas, will also be released through the streaming platform. In that upcoming science fiction thriller, the actress will star alongsideSimu Liu,Sterling K. BrownandLana Parrilla. While the plot ofAtlasis still being kept under wraps, the fact that filming for the project was completed last year hints at a release date likely being revealed soon.Brad Peyton, who wroteSweet Girlfor the streamer, was in charge of directing the sci-fi story.
