The first trailer for the new film Unstoppable was shared Wednesday.
In the clip, Jennifer Lopez plays struggling mother Judy Robles of an athlete who doesn’t let the disability of being born with one leg hold her back.
The screen icon shined as she screamed, cried and channeled some of her Bronx attitude.
“I’m not going to let him stop wrestling and I’m not going to let him stop school,” Lopez shouts at those who don’t believe in her son.
“When they see you, they don’t see someone missing a leg, they see someone unstoppable. You can show them that anything is possible,” scene-stealer Lopez adds.

In the sports biopic, produced by Lopez’s ex Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, Jharrel Jerome plays real-life wrestler Anthony Robles, who was born with one leg.
Lopez helps her son believe in himself.
“You can show them that anything is possible,” Lopez’s mother tells her son.
Lopez is seen throughout the trailer — at home with her husband (played by Bobby Cannavale, 54) as she watches wrestling matches.
And a quote from Deadline about Jennifer’s incredible performance — dubbed “standout” — is also shared onscreen.
All signs point to Jennifer entering the 2025 Oscar race.
Lopez has never been nominated for an Academy Award, but has won two Golden Globe Awards and an Emmy Award.

Although Lopez is a major highlight of the film, the focus is primarily on the wrestler.
He was born in Arizona and wants to be the best wrestler in the world.
“Why are you struggling?” asks Anthony’s coach Bobby Williams, played by Michael Peña, in the trailer.
“When people look at me, the first thing they see is what’s missing,” Anthony replies about Jerome. “If I win, having one leg won’t be the most important thing about me.”
Lopez’s ex Affleck produced the film with friend Matt Damon for their production company Artists Equity.
The film is directed by William Goldenberg.

Co-stars include Don Cheadle as Arizona State coach Shawn Charles and Bobby Cannavale as Anthony’s stepfather Rich.
Lopez, 55, told People that playing one half of a “dysfunctional and unhealthy” couple felt “really cathartic.”
She added, “Women who are mothers and you’re in relationships, and you’re struggling with it, and you’re in a dynamic that’s not healthy, but you care about the person, you love the person… That’s that complicated dynamic of life that I understand very well.”
Jennifer filed for divorce from Ben on August 20 after two years of marriage.
