Sydney Sweeney shared the official trailer and revealed the theatrical release date of Christy on Instagram.
“This one’s for you, christy,” Sweeney wrote. “The @christy.movie trailer is finally here. see the film in theaters nov 7.”
The trailer starts off with Sweeney’s Christy Martin interacting with boxing promoter Don King. The latter tells the former that she is the “lady” he had been “hearing so much about.” In response, Martin says that it’s an honor to meet King.
King then tells Martin how his associate Jesse informed him she fights in “all pink.” Simultaneously, the trailer shows Martin in a sequence of shots wearing pink clothing in her boxing matches. Martin tells King she is from West Virginia, prompting him to ask about its relation to her pink boxing attire.
The trailer also shows a series of shots highlighting Martin’s growing fame and success. The shots are accompanied by a voiceover of King telling Martin she is a world champion. The following shot shows Sydney Sweeney’s boxer taking a heavy punch from an opponent. This is accompanied by an ominous warning from King to Martin, telling her that even though she thinks she makes “the world turn,” she would wake up one day and realize that the world “turns just fine” without her.
The Euphoria star revealed in a recent Vanity Fair interview that she and her co-stars dealt real punches to each other. She noted that they were “going full force.” “I always believed that you would not be able to make it feel real if it’s a stunt double or if it’s faking the hits,” the 28-year-old added.
Christy arrives in U.S. theaters on November 7, 2025. Besides Sweeney, the film also stars Ben Foster, Merritt Wever, Katy O’Brian, Ethan Embry, Jess Gabor, Chad L. Coleman, and Tony Cavalero.
