‘Bombshell’ trailer gives first look at Charlize Theron as Megyn Kelly, Nicole Kidman as Gretchen Carlson
The stark official trailer for “Bombshell” is here, and gives viewers a first look at a near-unrecognizable Charlize Theron as Megyn Kelly, Nicole Kidman as Gretchen Carlson, and Margot Robbie as Fox News producer Kayla Pospisil.
Based on the real scandal. Bombshell - Starring Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman & Margot Robbie.

In the trailer for “Bombshell,” which recounts the lead-up to the sexual harassment allegations against Roger Ailes and his subsequent downfall, Robbie kicks off the clip walking through the news station’s offices, attracting the attention of a reporter (Kate McKinnon) on her way to the elevator. Robbie enters the lift, pressing the button for the second floor, and is soon joined by Theron and Kidman. All three have a seemingly awkward few moments together before stepping off. Theron remains in the elevator, scowling as the other two women walk into the Fox News office.
“Hot in here,” Kidman says, before exiting.
The film also stars John Lithgow as Ailes, Malcolm McDowell as Ruper Murdoch, Allison Janney, Mark Duplass, Connie Britton, Alice Eve, and Rob Delaney.
“Bombshell” was written by Charles Randolph and is helmed by director Jay Roach. The film was originally set to be released through Annapurna, but was dropped by the studio, and Lionsgate subsequently took over.
“Bombshell” will hit theaters Dec. 20, 2019.
