Bombshell full movie trailer drops starring Charlize Theron, Margot Robbie and Kate McKinnon

A second trailer has dropped for the much-anticipated Bombshell movie starring Charlize Theron, Margot Robbie, Nicole Kidman, Mark Duplass and Kate McKinnon.

The first trailer premiered in August. The movie is going to focus on a sexual harassment scandal that rocked the Fox News media empire, coming to a head in 2016.

Saturday Night Live star McKinnon, who has been playing Presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren on the TV show, is the breakout star of the second clip. She gives a darkly funny monologue as she introduces Robbie’s character to Fox News.

"You have to adopt the mentality of an Irish street cop," she says while giving a tour of the newsroom. "The world is a bad place, people are lazy morons, minorities are criminals, sex is sick but interesting. Ask yourself, what would scare my grandmother or piss off my grandfather? And that’s a Fox story."

Later on, Kidman, who plays commentator Gretchen Carlson, says, "The attitude off-camera was even worse" about the men she works with. She later says, "Someone has to speak up, someone has to get mad."

Fittingly, the Billie Eilish song Bad Guy plays in the background.

Bombshell will be released in the US in December and in UK cinemas January 2020
