The Pickup: Eva Longoria Spills Tea On Her Wild Role, Says, “What I Loved About The Script…”

The Pickup starring legendary comedian Eddie Murphy, alongside Pete Davidson and Keke Palmer is set to drop on Prime Video on August 6, 2025. The film promises a laughter-packed ride with plenty of twists, and joining the star-studded cast is Eva Longoria as Natalie—Murphy’s on-screen wife. But Natalie is no ordinary partner, she is a woman of surprising skills, elegance, and efficiency, knowing her husband better than he knows himself.

When Russell (Murphy) cancels their anniversary plans, Natalie’s patience starts to wear thin. However, when danger comes knocking, she quickly proves she’s anything but a bystander. As the situation escalates into a high-stakes rescue mission, Natalie becomes an integral part of the wild adventure, turning their missed celebration into a thrilling, no-holds-barred ride.

Sharing insights about her character and how she lands at the heart of the madness, Eva Longoria said, “What I loved about the script and what I love about this film too is that I play Eddie’s wife, but I end up going along for the ride. I end up part of the adventure. And through a series of circumstances, I end up in trouble with them and I’m probably the most sane person in the situation. I save the day at the end. I think it’s really fun when you’re not just the wife of or the girlfriend in a film, when you play a vital part in the adventure.”
