Jennifer Lopez Channels Retro Glam In Kiss Of The Spider Woman Teaser
Kiss of the Spider Woman is based on Manuel Puig's 1976 novel of the same name.
Jennifer Lopez is captivating audiences with her retro Hollywood glam in the teaser of Kiss of the Spider Woman, released on June 5. Her highly anticipated look has already taken social media by storm, with fans praising her tribute to classic Hollywood musicals.
The teaser opens with a glimpse into the opulent life of Ingrid Luna (played by Lopez) and her two admirers, Luis (Tonatiuh) and Valentin (Diego Luna), as they discuss her celebrated musical, Kiss of the Spider Woman. Set during Argentina's Dirty War, the story follows Luis, a gay hairdresser, who escapes the grim reality of his prison life by immersing himself in Ingrid's dazzling film world. When Valentin, a Marxist revolutionary, becomes his cellmate, the two forge an unexpected bond through the magic of Ingrid's music and screen presence.
Kiss of the Spider Woman is based on Manuel Puig's 1976 novel of the same name. The novel was later adapted into a Broadway musical by Terrence McNally, Fred Ebb, and John Kander. In the movie adaptation, Lopez steps into the shoes of Chita Rivera, who originally brought the role of Ingrid to life. In addition to playing the lead, Lopez also acts as a producer of the film. Other executive producers and co-producers of the film include Diego Luna, Lopez's former husband Ben Affleck, and Matt Damon.
Directed and co-written by Dreamgirls director Bill Condon, the film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2025. According to Variety reports, the musical contains 13 tracks sung by Lopez, Tonatiuh, and Diego Luna. During an interview following the Sundance screening, Lopez was seen becoming emotional as she explained that she had been waiting her whole life for this moment.
'The reason I even wanted to be in this business is because my mom used to sit me in front of the TV when West Side Story aired, and I remember being mesmerised and thinking, 'That's what I want to do,'" JLo shared during the screening. The teaser has already created some significant buzz across social media, as fans are eager to watch Lopez essaying the character of Ingrid Luna. The film is scheduled to premiere on October 10, 2025.
