Charlize Theron is dead ringer for Megyn Kelly in tense first trailer for ‘Bombshell’ – USA TODAY

“Bombshell” has already lit a fuse on Twitter.

The upcoming Lionsgate movie, about the sexual misconduct allegations against late Fox News executive Roger Ailes, has dropped its first trailer, which features Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman and Margot Robbie in a tense elevator ride.

Directed by Jay Roach, the film follows the accusations that led to the CEO’s resignation in July of 2016. 

Soon after its release, Twitter users noted Theron’s uncanny resemblance to her real-life character, former Fox News host Megyn Kelly

“Ok but Charlize Theron looks almost exactly like Megyn Kelly in #Bombshell,” one user wrote.

“Surprised so many people are astonished by Charlize Theron’s ability to perfectly mimic Megyn Kelly’s tense-pursed facial expression in that #Bombshell clip,” wrote another.

“Charlize looks more like Megyn Kelly than Megyn Kelly does,” another user wrote.

In addition to teasing Theron’s turn as Kelly, the trailer also offers a glimpse of Robbie’s Kayla Pospisil and Kidman’s Gretchen Carlson.

The movie hits theaters in December.
