Jennifer Lopez and Cardi B are strippers in the new film Hustlers

J.Lo and Cardi B already had a hit together with Dinero and that clearly whetted the appetite for more. More dinero too, probably. Jenny from the Block and Cardi B are going to star together in a movie and they don't have minor roles. They play strippers in a New York strip club. Oh yes, I bet this will be a movie that you can easily take your date to. By the way, Lili Reinhart also plays a major role in the film. You know, Betty from Riverdale. Maybe she's tired of her good girl image? We already got a preview when she fully went for the Serpent Queen title and performed a pole dance show, so she already has some experience in the stripper scene.

The movie will be called Hustlers and is inspired by a 2015 article from The New York Times. Fun fact: Jennifer Lopez is also a producer of the film. It’s about a group of strippers working in a strip club who revolt against the Wall Street investors, or in other words: their clients. The strippers are also referred to as the Robin Hood strippers in many articles, so that gives a bit of an idea of what the film will be about. An X-rated version of Robin Hood, that it is.

For Cardi B, this is her first Hollywood role and I think it's quite a big one. I mean: Jennifer Lopez, Cardi B, and Lili Reinhart in one film? As strippers? I predict a Box Office hit. And we have another familiar face by the way, someone who already has quite a bit of experience with dancing. Save The Last Dance, whose favorite movie was this not back in the day? And 10 Things I Hate About You too by the way. Yes, Julia Stiles also has a role in Hustlers.

I must say: seeing Jennifer Lopez back on the big screen has its charm. I used to watch her movie Enough countless times, and secretly Maid in Manhattan too. The former was clearly of a bit more quality than the latter, of course. But in Enough, she really played a power woman, which she also wants to show in Hustlers. Who run the world? Girls.

Furthermore, there are roles for Keke Palmer (Scream Queens) and Constance Wu (Crazy Rich Asians). So far, only women from the cast are known, so we still have to be patient to find out who will play the Wall Street bankers. And just to wrap up with a juicy detail: for Cardi B, this film comes very close to the truth. She actually worked as a stripper at the age of 19, before she became known as a rapper.
