Priyanka Chopra Jonas has unveiled a striking new avatar — and it might be her most intense role yet. The global star dropped the official trailer of her upcoming international film The Bluff, also starring Karl Urban giving audiences their first extended glimpse of her fierce pirate queen character, Ercell “Bloody Mary” Bodden. The film is set to premiere on Prime Video on February 25, and the newly released footage promises a dark, brutal, and emotionally charged high-seas spectacle.
The trailer opens on a stormy ocean world ruled by violence and survival. Chopra Jonas appears scarred and battle-worn, her presence commanding attention through restrained yet powerful physicality. Gone are glamorous pirate tropes — in their place stands a hardened warrior shaped by bloodshed and betrayal. From sword fights and close-quarters combat to tense standoffs and roaring cannons, every frame reinforces the film’s raw intensity.
Alongside Chopra Jonas, the trailer introduces a strong supporting cast. Temuera Morrison appears as Quartermaster Lee, the trusted advisor to Captain Connor, adding gravitas and intrigue to the unfolding power dynamics. Other notable cast members include Ismael Cruz Córdova, Safia Oakley-Green, Zach Morris, David Field, and Vedanten Naidoo, each bringing depth to the treacherous universe of rival crews and shifting loyalties.
At its core, The Bluff follows Ercell’s struggle to protect the new life she has built when her violent past comes crashing back. As her former crew resurfaces, she is forced to embrace the brutal methods she once tried to leave behind. Themes of loyalty, betrayal, survival, and power run through the narrative — but so does something more personal. The film explores Ercell’s maternal instincts, an emotional layer reportedly influenced by Chopra Jonas’s own life experiences, giving the character a rare balance of ferocity and vulnerability.
Unlike traditional pirate adventures that lean on fantasy and swashbuckling charm, The Bluff promises a grounded, R-rated reimagining of piracy — gritty, emotional, and unflinchingly violent, with touches of dark humor to cut through the tension.
With international scale, intense action, and a commanding central performance, The Bluff positions Priyanka Chopra Jonas at the helm of a bold new cinematic chapter. When the film sails onto Prime Video on February 25, audiences can expect blood-soaked battles, emotional stakes, and a pirate queen unlike any seen before.
