The Arnold trailer gives glimpses of Arnold Schwarzenegger's near-impossible journey while amplifying his never-say-die attitude

The trailer for Arnold was released on Netflix's official YouTube channel on May 10, 2023. It begins with the Terminator star revealing that he had envisioned the adulation he would receive as a public figure before it became a reality and that he believed he would get there with all his heart. The trailer then mashes up archival footage with snippets from his films, with voiceovers highlighting the challenges Schwarzenegger took up.

Eventually switching to a more personal tone, Schwarzenegger says that as much as people will remember him for his successes, he will also be remembered for his failures. He addresses how his pursuits in life affected his marriage and his family overall, admitting that the pain that he caused his loved ones is something that he has to live with for the rest of his life.

The trailer transitions to a motivational tone right after, ending with Schwarzenegger asking the viewer to "do it" and to "do it now." A synopsis for the docuseries was available in the description for the trailer. It reads:

"This three part documentary series chronicles never before seen footage & stories of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s journey from rural Austria to the highest echelons of the American dream. In the series, there’s unprecedented access to the most candid interviews from Schwarzenegger, his friends, foes, co-stars and observers."

It continues:

We see many talk about his days pumping iron to his triumphs in Hollywood, all the way to his time governing the state of California. The joys and the turbulence of his family life are unveiled in a tale that matches his larger-than-life persona."

The docuseries features appearances by James Cameron, Jamie Lee Curtis, Danny DeVito, Linda Hamilton, and Sylvester Stallone, to name a few. Here's some more information provided by Netflix in an official press release:

"In his latest role as the orator of his own story, the former governor of California provides audiences with context and insight into three key chapters of his life: Arnold as an athlete, Arnold as an actor and Arnold as an American."

Starring alongside Schwarzenegger in FUBAR are Monica Barbaro, Milan Carter, Jay Baruchel, Travis Van Winckle, Fabiana Udenio, Fortune Feimster, and others.
