Ariana Grande has officially met the Fockers.
The trailer for Focker-In-Law has just dropped, and it’s a doozy. We see Ari take on the role of Olivia Jones, undergoing Jack Byrne’s (Robert De Niro) iconic lie detector test, getting approval from the family dog, and beefing with Ben Stiller’s character Gaylord, aka Greg.
Ariana is playing Henry’s new fiancée, Olivia Jones, adamant to impress the family.
“A young man named Henry, son of Greg and Pam Focker, faces family chaos when he decides to marry a strong-willed woman who appears to be his complete mismatch,” the films synopsis reads.
And if the trailer is anything to go by, it seems we will see Olivia vs Greg battle each other for most of the film!
The character appears to be a great fit for Ariana to show off more of her brilliant comedic timing.
Also returning alongside Stiller and De Niro are Owen Wilson, Blythe Danner, and Teri Polo.
There are some fresh faces, too! Skyler Gisondo and Beanie Feldstein join the crew as Focker kids Henry and Samantha.
This is also Ben Stiller's and Skyler Gisondo's second movie together, as father and son. They previously played father and son in the 2014 film ‘Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb’.
It’s a stacked cast, and we can’t wait to be elbow deep in popcorn later this year.
‘Focker in-law’ is set to hit theatres around NZ on November 25.
