The post A Grandma Goes John Wick on Scammers in Thelma Trailer: Watch appeared first on Consequence.

The first trailer for Thelma, the June Squibb-starring comedy about a grandma going John Wick on senior scammers, has arrived.

Thelma follows Squibb as 93-year-old Thelma Post, who is duped out of $10,000 by phone scammers pretending to be her grandson (Fred Hechinger). After the police say they can’t help her, she enlists the help of her friend Ben (Richard Roundtree), and sets out for revenge. Filling out the cast will be Parker Posey, Clark Gregg, Malcolm McDowell, and more.

The film is due in theaters on June 21st, released via Magnolia Pictures. Watch the trailer below.

Thelma first premiered this past January at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival. In her review, Consequence’s Liz Shannon Miller praised the film’s mixture of comedy and genuine depth of feeling, calling it a “love letter to grandmas.”

This is just the latest project for a still-quite-active Squibb, who appeared in Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead in April, and is set to have a role in the upcoming Inside Out 2. Meanwhile, Hechinger is set to appear in one of the most anticipated films of 2024, Gladiator 2, and Posey has joined the cast of The White Lotus for the acclaimed show’s third season.
