The first full length trailer for Baywatch will be released tomorrow (presumably before the one for Spider-Man: Homecoming swings online), but in the meantime, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has shared a sneak peek at what’s to come in the our first look at the movie.
This trailer teaser doesn’t reveal much, but we do get to see the beloved wrestler turned actor striking a pretty iconic pose as he emerges from the ocean carrying someone he’s just rescued. It goes without saying that Casino Royale era Daniel Craig is no match for Johnson!
The Central Intelligence and Jumanji star also confirmed that the Baywatch trailer will be R-Rated, while the movie was recently moved to a Memorial Day release date which will pit it against the next Pirates of the Caribbean. That’s a real sign of confidence from the studio.
Directed by Seth Gordon (Horrible Bosses), Baywatch revolves around a by-the-book leader of an elite team of lifeguards (Johnson) who’s forced to team with a rule-breaking hotshot (Efron) to save the bay from an oil tycoon (Priyanka Chopra). Set for release on May 19th, 2017, the cast also includes Alexandra Daddario, Kelly Rohrbach, and Hannibal Buress.
