Rebel Wilson is both a star and co-producer of the new film, Isnt It Romantic , but the actress barely resembled a rom-com heroine in her appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show this week.

The Pitch Perfect star arrived on the Ellen set dressed for Halloween as Wilson, Tom Hanks volleyball companion from the 2000 film, Cast Away. Fortunately, DeGeneres also was in a spooky mood, done up as a parody of a contestant on The Bachelor known as dental assistant Kelllly D from New Jersey.

Costumes aside, Wilson was on hand to debut the trailer for Isnt It Romantic. She plays Natalie, a down-on-her-luck New Yorker who wakes up to find herself trapped inside a romantic comedy and caught between two love interests (played by Adam DeVine and Liam Hemsworth).

Watch the Isnt It Romantic trailer above.

I had such a ball filming that, Wilson told DeGeneres of the film, due out on Valentines Day 2019. Moreover, the Aussie-born actress said shes excited by the way the film breaks away from Hollywood tropes for plus-size characters.

Im proud to be the first-ever plus-sized girl to be the star of a romantic comedy, she said. While its possible Wilson misspoke, as actresses such as Queen Latifah have starred in romantic comedies before, theres definitely a shortage of them cast in those roles.

DeGeneres also asked whether a September photo that appeared on Wilsons Instagram was intended as confirmation that a fourth Pitch Perfect film was in the works. The image showed Wilson with Pitch Perfect co-stars Anna Camp, Brittany Snow and Chrissie Fit, each holding up four fingers.
