Check out the official final trailer for "Fighting with My Family," the underdog sports comedy based on the early years of English-born WWE superstar wrestler "Paige."
Executive produced by Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, who also makes a guest appearance as himself, the film stars up-and-comer Florence Pugh (Outlaw King, The Little Drummer Girl) as the younger, semi-fictionalized version of Paige, an aspiring English wrestler who, after having been raised in a blue-collar family of British wrestlers, gets invited to travel to America to wrestle in the WWE.
Inspired by the BBC documentary "The Wrestlers: Fighting with My Family," the film is written and directed by English comedian Stephen Merchant (The Office, Hello Ladies), who also co-stars alongside Jack Lowden (Dunkirk), Lena Headey (Game of Thrones), and Nick Frost (Hot Fuzz) with Vince Vaughn playing a WWE talent scout.
"Fighting with My Family" is currently playing in select theaters but is scheduled to open nationwide this Friday, February 22nd.
