Nicole Kidman as Gretchen Carlson and Charlize Theron as Megyn Kelly are nearly unrecognizable in the first look of `Bombshell`.
The debut footage is brief but rather heavy. News producer Kayla Pospisil (Margot Robbie) walks through the halls of Fox News to the elevator, as she`s watched by a reporter (Kate McKinnon). Kayla looks distraught and is joined by Megyn Kelly (Charlize Theron) who perhaps feels Kayla`s shame and hence can`t look her in the eye.
Both of them are joined by Grethen Carlson (Nicole Kidman) and the three share an uncomfortable silence, before Grethen breaks the ice with `Hot in here`. Soon, Gretchen and Kayla exit the elevator while Megyn glowers at them from a distance.

`Bombshell` stars John Lithgow as Ailes, Malcolm McDowell as Rupert Murdoch, Allison Janney, Mark Duplass, Connie Britton, Alice Eve, Kate McKinnon, Brigette Lundy-Paine, Ashley Greene, Madeline Zima, Stephen Root, and Rob Delaney.
