The first trailer for the new movie Unstoppable was shared on Wednesday.
In the clip, Jennifer Lopez is seen as Judy Robles, the feisty mother of an athlete who doesn’t let her disability from being born with one leg get in her way.
The movie icon dazzled as she screamed, cried, and brought out some of her Bronx style.
‘I won’t let him quit wrestling and I won’t let him quit school,’ López shouts at those who don’t believe in his son.
‘When they see you, they don’t see someone who is missing a leg, they see someone who is unstoppable. You can show them that anything is possible,” adds Lopez, the scene-stealer.

Although Lopez is a highlight of the film, the main role is about the wrestler.
He was born in Arizona and wants to become the greatest wrestler in the world.
‘Why are you fighting?’ 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 responds from Jerome. “If I win, having a leg won’t be the most important thing to me.”
Affleck, Lopez’s ex, has produced with his friend Matt Damon for their Artists Equity production company.
The film is directed by William Goldenberg.
