Queen Of The Ring UK release announced!

Описание: Vertigo Releasing is excited to announce that their upcoming wrestling drama Queen of the Ring will be available in select UK cinemas from 19th September 2025!

#QueenoftheRing has an all-star line-up including #EmilyBettRickards (Arrow), #JoshLucas (Ford V Ferrari), #TylerPosey (Teen Wolf), #FrancescaEastwood (Juror #2), #CaraBuono (Stranger Things), #DeborahAnnWoll (True Blood), #DamarisLewis (BlackKkKlansman), with #GavinCasalegno (Noah) and #WaltonGoggins (The White Lotus) completing the card.

Queen of the Ring is a Sumerian Pictures Production, written and directed by #AshAvildsen (Paradise City). The film tells the remarkable true story of #MildredBurke, the first million-dollar female athlete in world history and the longest reigning champion of female wrestling. Based on the book by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jeff Leen, the film follows ‘Millie,’ a young single mother from a small town who defies societal norms by becoming a female pro-wrestler at a time when the sport was illegal across most of the United States.

Despite her success throughout the 40s and 50s, Millie's journey is marked by personal struggles, including raising her son on the road, the tragic death of her #wrestling protégé in the ring and a tumultuous relationship with her manager and ex-husband, #BillyWolfe.

Her story highlights triumphs such as being the first woman to headline over men, bringing women of colour into the sport, and participating in the first female "shoot match” i.e. real combat without a script for a title fight. Millie’s remarkable tale shattered the limitations of what a girl could become in entertainment and sports and is an unforgettable slice of post-war Americana.

Queen of the Ring captures the golden age of female pro-wrestling when one gritty, glamorous woman risked everything in her life to change culture forever.
