Roadside Attractions has unveiled the first teaser trailer for Kiss of the Spider Woman, a sweeping, visually dazzling adaptation of the beloved Broadway musical and the 1976 novel by Argentinian author Manuel Puig. Directed and written by Dreamgirls filmmaker Bill Condon, the film promises a rich blend of emotional depth, political tension, and Technicolor fantasy, anchored by a stellar cast including Diego Luna, Tonatiuh, and Jennifer Lopez. The film had its world premiere at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival to early acclaim and is slated for theatrical release on October 10, 2025.
Set within the claustrophobic confines of a South American prison, Kiss of the Spider Woman follows Valentín (Diego Luna), a political prisoner, and Molina (Tonatiuh), a flamboyant window dresser imprisoned for public indecency. As the two men navigate the harsh realities of confinement, Molina escapes into a dream world by recounting the plot of an old Hollywood musical starring his favorite fictional screen diva, Ingrid Luna—brought to life in glamorous fashion by Jennifer Lopez. Through their storytelling, a fragile yet transformative bond begins to form between them.
The teaser trailer offers a vivid preview of Condon’s signature style—lush cinematography, heightened emotion, and theatrical grandeur. Jennifer Lopez stuns in elaborate musical numbers as the titular Spider Woman, channeling old-school Hollywood glamour with a haunting twist. Luna and Tonatiuh deliver emotionally charged glimpses of their performances, hinting at a relationship filled with nuance, longing, and human connection in the darkest of places.
Also featuring Bruno Bichir, Josefina Scaglione, and Aline Mayagoitia, the film blends the fantastical elements of the musical with the grounded, poignant themes of Puig’s novel. With its genre-defying narrative and striking visuals, Kiss of the Spider Woman is poised to become one of the most anticipated musical films of the year, offering audiences a story about identity, love, and survival that still resonates today.
