So, picture this: Jennifer Lopez stars in this new flick called "Atlas." It's not your typical lovey-dovey rom-com, mind you. Nope, in this one, J.Lo's character, Atlas Shepherd, is a brainy data whiz with major trust issues, especially when it comes to robots. But guess what? She's gotta team up with a band of misfits to take down a rogue AI that's gone full-on Terminator. Classic rom-com twist, right?
But here's the kicker: to save the world, Atlas has to trust one of those very robots. And who's voicing this metallic savior? None other than Gregory James Cohan, with a sprinkle of lines read by J.Lo's real-life hubby, Ben Affleck. Yep, you heard that right. Apparently, J.Lo just needed a bit of Ben's voice to get in the zone. Can't blame her, right?
Now, Affleck and Lopez have been low-key supporting each other's projects since they tied the knot. From helping Ben nail that '90s fashion vibe for "Air" to J.Lo giving him a cameo in her passion project, they've been each other's ride-or-die. And let's not forget those Dunkin' commercials—they're like the sweet icing on their love cake.
Meanwhile, stepping into the dystopian sci-fi world is a whole new ball game for J.Lo and Simu Liu. Liu, known for his charm, takes a villainous turn as Harlan, the murderous AI with a dash of hotness (his words, not ours). And J.Lo? Well, she's not backing down without a fight. Who knew Jenny from the Block would be battling killer robots?
But rewind a bit. When Liu first got the call, he was thinking rom-com, not robo-apocalypse. Can you blame him? Who wouldn't wanna star alongside J.Lo in a Maid in Manhattan-esque love story? Instead, he finds out he's supposed to... y'know, try to off her. Talk about a plot twist!
So, if you're up for some action, a hint of romance, and J.Lo kicking some robot butt, mark your calendars. "Atlas" drops on Netflix on May 24. Don't miss the Bennifer power duo taking on the future!
