Red Sparrow is going to give Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence a new kind of heroine to play.

Check out the new spot from the big game!

Secret Agent Woman

It’s not hard to draw parallels between Red Sparrow and Black Widow. Their origins seem to line up a bit when it comes to their rigorous training/subjugation. Maybe fans that have been clamoring for a Black Widow film will get what they want out of Red Sparrow. Or, it might be a nice way to tide them over until Scarlett Johansson gets to headline her own Marvel movie.

From the official synopsis:

Dominika Egorova is many things. A devoted daughter determined to protect her mother at all costs. A prima ballerina whose ferocity has pushed her body and mind to the absolute limit. A master of seductive and manipulative combat.
When she suffers a career-ending injury, Dominika and her mother are facing a bleak and uncertain future. That is why she finds herself manipulated into becoming the newest recruit for Sparrow School, a secret intelligence service that trains exceptional young people like her to use their bodies and minds as weapons.
After enduring the perverse and sadistic training process, she emerges as the most dangerous Sparrow the program has ever produced. Dominika must now reconcile the person she was with the power she now commands, with her own life and everyone she cares about at risk, including an American CIA agent who tries to convince her he is the only person she can trust.
Red Sparrow will hit theaters on March 2.
