Get ready to Rumble!
PEOPLE has an exclusive first look at Paramount Animations’ Rumble, set to hit screens on January 29, 2021. The image shows just how high-stakes this unique form of wrestling is, with a huge but cuddly-looking monster casually leaning back onto the ring while towering over the humans below.
Will Arnett plays that huge monster, Steve, who is being trained to become an unstoppable wrestler.
“I’m excited to be part of this really fun movie,” Arnett, 49, tells PEOPLE. “It’s a great, positive story in a time when we need to hear more positive stories.”
The movie’s synopsis gives another glimpse into this world. Paramount Animations teamed up with WWE Studios for the film.
“In a world where monster wrestling is a global sport and monsters are superstar athletes, teenage Winnie seeks to follow in her father’s footsteps by coaching a lovable underdog monster into a champion,” the synopsis reads.
