The film had its theatrical release in the United States on October 10, 2025, by Lionsgate Films, Roadside Attractions, and LD Entertainment.

What happens in Kiss of the Spider Woman and who stars in it?
Taking place during Argentina's Dirty War, Kiss of the Spider Woman is about two men who occupy a prison cell together, Luis Molina (Tonatiuh), a gay window dresser who has been arrested for public indecency, and Valentin Arregui Paz (Diego Luna), a left-wing revolutionary who battles the government.
The two forge an unlikely bond while Molina tells him about his favorite celluloid musical, also called Kiss of the Spider Woman, featuring Aurora (Jennifer Lopez). By virtue of imagination, Molina places himself and Valentin within the world of the film, full of danger, romance, and betrayal.
In the story, Aurora is a sophisticated publisher who becomes infatuated with a photographer named Armando, only to find out that their village is being terrorized by a mythic Spider Woman who asks for a lover sacrifice.
As the story goes along, Molina's narratives serve as an escapism, helping both of the prisoners attain goodness and togetherness amidst their pain. Molina's life turns dark, though, when the warden forces him to spy on Valentin in return for parole.
As political tension escalates outside, the two men's relationship becomes deeper and hotter with love. Molina finally gives his life to assist Valentin's revolutionary faction, envisioning himself dancing in a lovely dress with Valentin as he perishes, finally accepted by the Spider Woman.
The movie stars Jennifer Lopez as Aurora/The Spider Woman, Diego Luna as Valentin Arregui, and Tonatiuh as Luis Molina. Tony Dovolani, Aline Mayagoitia, and Bruno Bichir.
