Rebel Wilson has shocked fans with her dramatic transformation in the adrenaline-pumping trailer for her upcoming action-comedy film Bride Hard.

The veteran actress, 45, posted a clip of the new movie to social media on Wednesday, which shows her in a role that breaks away from her comedic roots.

The Bridesmaids star stuns in a striking low-cut red dress as she uses a variety of martial arts moves and improvised weapons to overpower a legion of assassins.

One scene has Rebel striking a bad guy repeatedly with a cake as they fight in a commercial kitchen and another shows her brawling with gunmen at a wedding. 

Known for her comedic talents in films like Pitch Perfect and Isn’t It Romantic, Rebel’s shift into the action genre marks a bold career evolution.

She plays a secret agent who takes on the role of Maid of Honour at her best friend’s wedding.

But when a group of ruthless mercenaries crash the celebrations and take guests hostage, it’s up to Rebel to save the day.

The movie is helmed by Con Air director Simon West and also features Rebel’s Pitch Perfect 3 co-star Anna Camp.

She captioned the footage with some exciting words: ‘I’ve got a lot of FIGHT in me! BRIDE HARD. Save the date! June 20th’.

It wasn’t long before the footage was inundated with comments. 

‘That’s my girl!’ gushed Rebel’s wife Ramona Agruma.

‘Luv it. Epic scene, I know how much goes into that! Fabulous,’ added film director Chrys Phillips.

In December, Rebel married her wife Ramona Agruma for a second time in Australia.

The star confirmed the news on social media, sharing a series of photos of the couple after they legally tied the knot in her hometown.

‘My sister Liberty officiated our legal wedding in Sydney!’ she wrote at the time. 

‘It meant my 94-year-old grandmother could come which was very special to us to have her included and just felt right to do it in my hometown at this glorious time of the year!’

Rebel and Ramona first tied the knot in Sardinia, Italy, on September 28, and daughter Royce was their flower girl.

It was the perfect fairytale location for the couple to exchange vows as they notably holidayed in Porto Cervo, Sardinia, just days after going Instagram official with their romance in 2022.

The couple, who first met in 2021, went on to welcome their daughter Royce Lillian via surrogate in November 2022.
