Charlie Hunnam conquers medieval times in ‘KING ARTHUR: LEGEND OF THE SWORD’

Courtney Howard // Film Critic

Director Guy Ritchie has a keen sense of style. While I felt he was totally in his element in the swinging sixties in MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E., he’s decided to go further back in time for his next feature. Way back in time – to medieval times – for KING ARTHUR: LEGEND OF THE SWORD. The film debuted their trailer at San Diego Comic Con this weekend where it wowed the crowds there. Star Charlie “hubba hubba” Hunnam told the audience that world creation is massive and has a “huge element of magical realism.”

Take a look at the trailer.

The film also stars Àstrid Bergès-Frisbey, Jude Law, Djimon Hounsou, and Eric Bana.

KING ARTHUR: LEGEND OF THE SWORD opens on March 24, 2017.
