Priyanka Chopra Jonas is back and fiercer than ever.

The 43-year-old global superstar has just dropped the trailer for her highly anticipated international film, The Bluff.

Notably, the movie is far cry from the glossy pirate adventures we’ve seen before.

The trailer plunges viewers into a brutal world where survival comes at a bloody cost.

Baywatch actress steps into the shoes of Ercell “Bloody Mary” Bodden, a feared pirate queen whose scars tell tales of countless battles.

It’s worth noting that this isn’t about words as her power is revealed through lightning-fast action, intense stares, and commanding presence.

Ercell proves she’s a force to be reckoned with, standing her ground against men who dare to underestimate her.

Furthermore, the trailer also teases a tense clash with Karl Urban, whose character brings unpredictability and danger to Ercell’s fragile new life.

Yet beneath the violence, The Bluff hints at a deeply personal story as Ercell isn’t just fighting enemies, she’s protecting her family and the peace she’s carved out. 

Fans also get a glimpse of a strong supporting cast, including Temuera Morrison as loyal Quartermaster Lee, alongside Ismael Cruz Córdova, Safia Oakley-Green, Zach Morris, David Field, and Vedanten Naidoo.

Sharing the trailer on Instagram, Priyanka teased the film’s raw and unforgiving tone, hinting that peace in Ercell’s world comes at a terrible cost.
