‘JACKPOT!’: John Cena and Awkwafina team up for Prime Video comedy

The trailer has been released for director Paul Feig's outrageous new comedy film ‘JACKPOT!'.

The laugh-out-loud comedy stars Awkwafina, John Cena, Ayden Mayeri, Donald Elise Watkins, Sam Asghari, Murray Hill and Simu Liu. It is written by Rob Yescombe and you can watch the trailer below:

In the near future, a ‘Grand Lottery’ has been newly established in California – the catch: kill the winner before sundown to legally claim their multi-billion dollar jackpot. When Katie Kim (Awkwafina) moves to Los Angeles, she mistakenly finds herself with the winning ticket. Desperate to survive the hordes of jackpot hunters, she reluctantly joins forces with amateur lottery protection agent Noel Cassidy (John Cena) who will do everything in his power to get her to sundown in exchange for a piece of her prize. However, Noel must face off with his slick rival Louis Lewis (Simu Liu), who also seeks to collect Katie’s commission at all costs. 

The film is produced by Joe Roth, Jeff Kirschenbaum, p.g.a., Paul Feig, p.g.a. and Laura Fischer, p.g.a., and executive produced by John Cena, Michelle Morrissey, Rob Yescombe and Zack Roth.
