Also, great idea to cast Harington as Arthur, and to keep in the vein of fresh actors from Game of Thrones -- Emilia Clarke would get my vote as Guinevere.

She is a great actress! I could see her as Morgana for sure! Never really thought she was "sexy", but she is still lovely!

I'm still VERY pissed off about this bullshit! This movie knocked out two other Excalibur films, one by Bryan Singer and the other by Guy Ritchie, both of whom are FAR better directors than David Dobkin (who's a hack at best).
How the hell does that make sense? To give two other phenomenal directors's films the axe and allowing a director who has never even had a decent film to go forward???

I f*cking hate studios!

Find a replacement director for this....ASAP!!!

She may have been ok, but there is only one Black Widow as far as i'm concerned...
















No FAKE accent, solid actress...the casting director should be ashamed.

Olga Kurylenko IS Black Widow

I never did come to understand why the two names, Morgana Pendragon and/or Morgan Le Fay. And there is no way Cotillard could ever pull off a better Morgan Le Fay than Helena Bonham Carter and Eva Green. She'll be decent but that's about it. I'm not expecting an award winning performance from her in TDKR either. I felt she was very forgetable in Inception.
