Global star Priyanka Chopra Jonas has sent fans into a frenzy by finally unveiling the first electrifying look at her upcoming film, The Bluff. The actress took to social media to share a series of stills from the pirate adventure, showcasing her in a never-seen-before avatar as the formidable Ercell Bodden, also known as Bloody Mary.
First Look: A Mother, A Protector, A Pirate
The revealed images present Priyanka Chopra in full action mode. One powerful still captures her engaged in a fierce, claustrophobic sword fight with her co-star, Karl Urban of The Boys fame. Another shows a contrasting moment of domesticity, with her character seated peacefully with her family. The most striking visuals, however, depict her as a battle-hardened pirate on a ship's deck and another where she is bloodied and aiming a pistol with determined intensity.
Sharing the pictures, Priyanka captioned the post succinctly, "Mother. Protector. Pirate. Meet Bloody Mary #TheBluff February. 25. 2026 Only on @primevideo." The post quickly garnered massive attention, with her husband, singer Nick Jonas, leading the cheers. Reposting her reveal, Nick wrote, "Can’t wait the world to see how absolutely incredible Priyanka is in this movie," showcasing his excitement and support.
The Gritty Plot of The Bluff
Set in the late 1800s, The Bluff is far from a glamorous swashbuckling tale. According to reports, Priyanka's character, Ercell Bodden, is a former pirate who has escaped her violent past. She has built a new life on an island, becoming a respected community member and raising a family. Her peaceful existence is shattered when her former crew tracks her down, seeking revenge for stolen gold. To protect her loved ones, she is forced to resurrect her deadly alter ego, Bloody Mary.
In an earlier interview, Priyanka expressed her fascination with the role, highlighting the historical reality of female pirates. "I did not know anything about females who were pirates," she said. "I didn’t know that was a concept that actually happened or that women had captained their own ships at a time where piracy—real piracy—was not the Disney version of it. It was scary, it was bloody, it was brutal." This promises a raw and gritty portrayal of pirate life.
Star-Studded Crew and Release Details
The film boasts a robust supporting cast including Temuera Morrison as Quartermaster Lee, Ismael Cruz Córdova, Safia Oakley-Green, and others. It is produced by the acclaimed Russo Brothers (Avengers: Endgame), who previously collaborated with Priyanka on the spy series Citadel. The film is slated for a direct-to-streaming release on February 25, 2026, exclusively on Prime Video.
This reveal has set high expectations for what is poised to be a landmark action role in Priyanka Chopra's career, blending high-stakes adventure with a powerful emotional core of a mother's defiance.
