Marshawn Lynch Makes Acting Debut in Queer Comedy ‘Bottoms’ | Watch Trailer

*Former NFLer Marshawn Lynch is making his Hollywood debut in the upcoming queer comedy “Bottoms.”

Directed by Emma Seligman, the film is described as “American Pie” meets “Fight Club and hails from the team behind “Pitch Perfect” and “Cocaine Bear.” The story centers on two female high schoolers who start a fight club in order to have sex before graduation. Lynch serves as the fight club instructor.

Per Complex: “In Bottoms, PJ (Rachel Sennott) and Josie (Ayo Edebiri) devise a plan to launch a fight club at their high school with the goal of it hopefully leading to them losing their virginities.”

“Their bizarre plan works,” according to an official synopsis, per PEOPLE. “The fight club gains traction and soon the most popular girls in school are beating each other up in the name of self-defense. But PJ and Josie find themselves in over their heads and in need of a way out before their plan is exposed.”

Seligman told Entertainment Weekly that the creative team “felt like queer women hadn’t gotten there due from a teen sex comedy.”

Sennott added, “We said we want the girls to fight each other, we want there to be a bomb, we want them to be trying to win over the cheerleaders. We had references in our mind in terms of Scott Pilgrim, Jennifer’s Body, Jawbreaker, all these different movies. But we also wanted to make sure we weren’t [just] doing one and that it was a mashup of genres.”

“It’s a campy high school movie, but it’s also an action movie,” she said.

Lynch shared the trailer on Twitter and captioned it, “Peep the trailer… yo boi done made it to the big screen.”

“Bottoms” hits select theaters on August 25 + additional cities September 1. Watch the trailer via the YouTube clip above.
