PanARMENIAN.Net - Nicholas Hoult and Matthew Morrison are rivals in the trailer for The Weinstein Company's animated movie "Underdogs". Morrison's character Jake one day sees the return of a former bully Ace, voiced by Hoult, after seven years. Returning to the small town, Ace who is now a professional soccer player says in front of people that the town is now his and that he will start destroying some buildings, AceShowbiz reports.

Trying to avoid the destruction, Jake challenges Ace to a game. "I'm challenging you to a rematch," he says, to which Ace replies, "Let's play real soccer." The pro brings his tough-looking friends for the game, while Jake finds unexpected help from some tiny friends.

The family-friendly flick also features Ariana Grande ("Sam & Cat") who voices Jake's crush Laura. Bella Thorne ("Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day"), Katie Holmes ("The Giver") and John Leguizamo ("Chef (2014)") also lend their voices for the movie which is directed by Juan Jose Campanella. It is set to hit U.S. theaters on April 10.
