The first Barely Lethal trailer has landed online. Hailee Steinfeld stars as a teenage assassin who’s a master of lethal techniques, but doesn’t want to live as a killer. She decides to fake her death and pose as a foreign exchange student, but she can’t escape her training or old foes.
This trailer attempts to straddle the line between violent comedy and a light-hearted high school romp, and I’m hoping that director Kyle Newman (Fanboys) can pull of the balance. There are moments where it feels like it has the best moments of Vampire Academy (an underrated film that doesn’t quite achieve its level of promise) and then lazy jokes like Steinfeld’s character being she’s told she’s got a video that’s gone viral “like HPV.” Still, I’m going to hold out hope for the film, especially since Steinfeld has yet to match the amazing performance she delivered in True Grit.
Check out the trailer below. The film also stars Samuel L. Jackson, Jessica Alba, Jamie King, and Sophie Turner. Barely Lethal currently doesn’t have a release date, and it's currently appealing its R-rating.

Fans Alarmed by Jessica Alba's Stunning New Instagram Photo
With a growing number of Hollywood stars drawing attention for increasingly slim appearances, Jessica Alba has become the latest celebrity to spark discussion online over her physique.
Alba recently shared an Instagram photo dump highlighting some of her August moments so far. The first photo showed the actress posing for a selfie in a tiger-stripe bikini, putting her slender frame on display. She accessorized the look with gold jewelry and sunglasses.
The rest of the carousel featured snapshots of the Honest founder golfing with her youngest son, spending time with her daughters, relaxing in the sun, enjoying campfires with friends and sharing moments with her boyfriend, Danny Ramirez.
Jessica Alba Fans Point Out Her Recent Weight Loss
However, many fans focused on the first bikini photo and expressed concern about Alba's appearance, with some speculating about weight-loss drugs despite there being no confirmation that she has used them.
"Another one lost to Ozempic," one person wrote.
Another said, "Not another Ozempic girl, she was so fine."
"Jessica, we love you but don't turn into Ariana Grande," another commenter wrote, referencing the singer's own recent appearance and the speculation surrounding her weight.
Another fan simply wrote, "I hope all is well," while someone else commented, "Not looking healthy at all. So sad."
Others pushed back against the criticism, arguing that Alba's body should not be subject to public scrutiny.
"People shaming her for the way she looks need their head examined. It's none of your business and it's also the reason women are so self-conscious of their bodies. Mind your business and your manners," one person wrote.
Hollywood Stars Face Health & Weight Loss Concerns
The online conversation surrounding the mom of three comes amid a broader trend of celebrities being scrutinized over their changing appearances. Stars including Charlize Theron, Anna Faris, Ariana Grande and Jenna Ortega have all faced public speculation about weight loss, health or the use of medications such as Ozempic.
While dramatic transformations among celebrities have long attracted attention, recent conversations have increasingly centered on stars who were already petite and now appear noticeably slimmer.
However, without confirmation from the individuals themselves, speculation about the reasons behind someone's weight or appearance remains just that—speculation.
