Fans have eagerly awaited a glimpse of this star-studded movie, which promises a blend of thrilling action and sharp-witted humor.
Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Paul Feig, ‘Jackpot’ revolves around an unlikely duo.

Awkwafina and John Cena’s signature humour shine through, providing a perfect balance to the film’s intense moments. Her quick one-liners and comedic situations promise plenty of laughs.

The trailer also hints at a strong supporting cast, including cameos from personalities like Simu Liu and Machine Gun Kelly, adding to the film’s star power.
The release of the ‘Jackpot’ trailer has sparked enthusiastic reactions online. The film is all set to release on August 15 on Prime Video.
Cena has had a busy year, having already appeared in the 2024 films Argylle and Ricky Stanicky, along with the new season of The Bear. Awkwafina co-starred in last year’s horror comedy Renfield and has done voice work in such recent features as The Little Mermaid, Kung Fu Panda 4 and IF.
During a conversation last year with The Hollywood Reporter about the state of comedy movies, Feig encouraged studios to continue taking chances with edgier offerings.
“For me, an R-rated comedy is the greatest art form of all because it can be honest,” Feig said at the time. “Everybody talks the way that people talk in real life. That’s the problem with PG-13 or PG movies: You’ve got a bad guy and he doesn’t swear. It’s like, ‘Is this real?’”
