KING ARTHUR: LEGEND OF THE SWORD Character Poster Shines A Spotlight On Jude Law's Evil Vortigern
After a series of delays, Guy Ritchie's King Arthur: Legend of the Sword is finally all set to debut this coming May! Warner Bros. has released a fresh new character poster, spotlighting the villain.
Guy Ritchie's King Arthur: Legend of the Sword is finally set to open this year on May 12th, which is exactly one week after James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.
The date might not exactly be ideal and in the past, has proven to be unkind to a number of films, including Shane Black's critically acclaimed The Nice Guys just last year, but considering GOTG Vol. 2 will begin screening in international markets ten days ahead of its North American debut, there is certainly room for King Arthur to succeed, especially if it garners a warm critical reception.
The picture stars Charlie Hunnam (Sons of Anarchy) as the title character with a supporting cast that includes Àstrid Bergès-Frisbey (Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides), Jude Law (Sherlock Holmes), Djimon Hounsou (Guardians of the Galaxy), and Eric Bana (Hulk).

Plus, here are new promotional photos from the movie's official Twitter account:
Acclaimed filmmaker Guy Ritchie brings his dynamic style to the epic fantasy action adventure “King Arthur: Legend of the Sword.” Starring Charlie Hunnam in the title role, the film is an iconoclastic take on the classic Excalibur myth, tracing Arthur’s journey from the streets to the throne.
When the child Arthur’s father is murdered, Vortigern (Jude Law), Arthur’s uncle, seizes the crown. Robbed of his birthright and with no idea who he truly is, Arthur comes up the hard way in the back alleys of the city. But once he pulls the sword from the stone, his life is turned upside down and he is forced to acknowledge his true legacy…whether he likes it or not.
