THE PICKUP Gears Up With New Poster and August 6 Release on Prime Video

Murphy and Davidson face off with Keke Palmer in The Pickup, dropping on Prime Video August 6.

Eddie Murphy and Pete Davidson are about to prove opposites do more than attract — they explode. A brand-new poster has just dropped for The Pickup, Tim Story’s latest action-comedy set to hit Prime Video on August 6, 2025. Packed with heavy hitters and hijinks, the film mashes up old-school chops with Gen-Z chaos, bringing Murphy and Davidson together in a buddy comedy that promises laughs, bullets, and one wildly botched job.

Directed by The Blackening and Ride Along helmer Tim Story, The Pickup blends quickfire comedy with explosive set-pieces in a world where the “routine” never stays that way. Eddie Murphy plays Russell, a seasoned armored truck driver with no time for nonsense. Davidson’s Travis? Let’s just say he brings the nonsense. When the duo is ambushed during what should’ve been a basic pickup, they’re forced into a deadly game orchestrated by a cunning mastermind named Zoe — played by Keke Palmer like she’s been waiting for a villain role her whole life.

The film also boasts an ensemble of scene-stealers: Eva Longoria, NFL beast Marshawn Lynch, wrestling icon Roman Reigns (Joe Anoa’i), Andrew Dice Clay, and Ismael Cruz Córdova all join the fray, turning what starts as a simple job into a full-blown street war of jokes, shootouts, and shifting alliances.

The Pickup isn’t just about action — it’s about rhythm. That Murphy/Davidson chemistry anchors the film, ping-ponging between sarcasm and sincerity while Keke Palmer chews up the screen with menace and charisma. If Beverly Hills Cop met Pineapple Express in a locked truck with the door blown off, this might be what crawls out laughing.

Check out the new poster drop and let us know — are you riding shotgun with The Pickup on August 6?
