Charlie Hunnam is taking the lead in Guy Ritchie’s King Arthur, which has the most Guy Ritchie trailer ever. Robbed of his birthright, Arthur (Hunnam) comes up the hard way in the back alleys of the city. But once he pulls the sword from the stone, he is forced to acknowledge his true legacy – whether he likes it or not.
This film looks completely ridiculous; I’m all for Charlie Hunnam getting lead roles and the action sequences look pretty intense, but this trailer is rich with Guy Ritchie’s style, and it’s just so jarring to see that style placed against a period piece like this. It didn’t seem that weird for Sherlock Holmes, but this trailer is downright baffling. Still, King Arthur could be a whole lot of fun.
King Arthur: Legend of the Sword is out 19th May.
