We’re not saying Netflix has a new strategy to get less-often-seen leading ladies back into the spotlight in more action-packed roles than you’re used to, but after the chart success ofJ-Lo’sAtlas,it looks like Jessica Alba could be up next.

The streamer has released a trailer forTrigger Warning, an action flick starring Alba,  and hitting the platform on 21 June. And it looks like a potentially fun slice of shock. Hopefully it’ll be a better performer than J-Lo’sAtlas, though, which netted herlowest Rotten Tomatoes score in this decade.

Alba plays a seemingly highly skilled Special Forces commando who returns home to take over her father’s bar after his mysterious death. From there it clearly doesn’t take long for her to sniff out a crime ring that’s taken over her hometown and infiltrated the police along with local politicians.

WhileAtlasarrived to little praise, audiences haven’t seemed to care much at all, with the movie rocketing into Netflix’s top spot in a range of territories. The streamer will be hoping for more of the same with Trigger Warning – although doubtless a better score wouldn’t exactly go amiss. We have high hopes, as Alba looks like a true badass in the trailer.

One enthused viewer wrote: “Few days ago I was thinking that Jessica Alba totally disappeared and now this trailer pops up out of nowhere”. Another agreed: “Jessica Alba as a vigilante? Hell yes!!”. The anticipation is already palpable.
