Charlie Hunnam As Arthur Pendragon In ‘King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword’

 

Warner Bros. has been pretty quiet about the upcoming King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, which is supposedly the first in a series of films following Arthur Pendragon and the various knights who would eventually gather at his Round Table. It looks like that silence has officially broken as two new image from the film have arrived, showing off Pacific Rim and Sons of Anarchy star Charlie Hunnam as King Arthur and Jude Law as the villainous Vortigern.

Entertainment Weekly premiered the images and provided a few story details that explain exactly why these two are going to be spending two hours of screen time trying to kill one another. It seems that Vortigern murdered his brother, King Uther Pendragon and usurped the throne using his deadly magical powers. Uther’s son, Arthur isn’t going to take a coup against his family lying down, so he grows a scraggly beard and fights back. Speaking of scraggly beards, here’s Hunnam as Arthur, looking about as far from a throne room as possible.

After being shuffled around the schedule a few times, King Arthur: Legend of the Sword is currently scheduled to hit theaters on March 24, 2017.
