The film's trailer was released on February 13, 2025, on Searchlight Pictures’ official YouTube Channel. Hulu released the trailer a day later, on February 14.

The roadmap to Sink’s characters’ journey is a dark world filled with numerous challenges. The central plot of the film implies an impending revolution with Sink's character at its helm.
Sadie Sink, as O’Dessa says:
"My daddy used to tell me, my singin’ had the power to bring light to the darkness. And change things."
Mark Bartlett’s Plutonovich can be heard stating,
"They’re gonna get what’s coming to them, mark my words."
On her path to rescuing her loved one while pioneering a musical revolution, she can be seen colorfully rising. At the same time, battling fervently with the powers that be.
