Stop! That! Train! to Open June 12 With Drag-Led Ensemble

Supporters say the film’s drag-fronted cast could expand queer visibility in mainstream theaters.

Overview

  • The high-camp disaster comedy Stop! That! Train! is scheduled to open in theaters on Friday, June 12, 2026.
  • Ginger Minj and Jujubee star as Tess and DeeDee, two stewardesses who lead a large cast that includes RuPaul, Symone, Brooke Lynn Hytes, Marcia Marcia Marcia, Latrice Royale, Monet X Change and several mainstream guest stars.
  • The plot centers on a meteorological event called a “stormaganza” that triggers a runaway bullet train and forces Tess and DeeDee to try to save the passengers.
  • Promotion in the days before release has included exclusive clips and cast interviews that highlight the film’s camp, musical numbers and quick production pace reported to have been 19 days.
  • Early press reviews praise the performances and two musical set pieces but find the script and jokes uneven, and proponents present the movie as a milestone for drag visibility while that claim remains an industry-frame rather than an independently verified first.
