THE SMASHING MACHINE (2025) | Teaser Trailer | Dwayne Johnson, Emily Blunt

The teaser opens with Johnson’s Mark Kerr sitting vulnerably in a doctor’s waiting room, reflecting on fighting with a soft-spoken “Absolutely not” when asked if opponents hate each other. Then come visceral fight sequences that contrast with intimate scenes: Kerr’s tense exchanges with his then-girlfriend Dawn (Emily Blunt), his climactic bout with fellow fighter Mark Coleman, and fleeting moments of tenderness—like signing an autograph and advising a fan against fighting. The trailer packs emotional weight behind a gritty aesthetic, showcasing Kerr’s highs, his personal pain, and the price of combat.
