“The future of humanity is in her hands,” the opening subtitle reads during the trailer for Atlas, Netflix’s Sci-Fi thriller starring Jennifer Lopez, for which we can share the first trailer above.
The pic, which opens May 24, follows Atlas Shepherd (Lopez), a brilliant but misanthropic data analyst with a deep distrust of artificial intelligence, who joins a mission to capture a renegade robot with whom she shares a mysterious past. But when plans go awry, her only hope of saving the future of humanity from AI is to trust it.
Starring alongside Lopez are Simu Liu, Sterling K. Brown, Gregory James Cohan, Abraham Popoola, Lana Parrilla, and Mark Strong. Pic was written by Leo Sardarian and Aron Eli Coleite. The director is Brad Peyton, and exec producers are Samson Mücke and Michael Riley McGrath.
Lopez last led Netflix’s The Mother, which debuted on the streamer on May 12, 2023. The action thriller was watched by 2.8M U.S. households over its debut weekend, according to L+2D data from Samba TV. According to data, the pic outperformed two of Netflix‘s other recent popular films, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery and Murder Mystery 2. The pic went on to enter Netflix’s most popular film list.
Brown was last seen in Cord Jefferson’s American Fiction. He was Oscar-nominated for his role in the pic. Liu, best known as Marvel’s Shang-Chi, was one of Greta Gerwig’s eager Ken dolls in the billion-dollar smash Barbie.
