We saw the debut trailer for Warrior Nun yesterday, and Netflix has now shared a first look at another upcoming fantasy-tinged comic book adaptation.

Cursed is based on the graphic novel of the same name from Tom Wheeler and Frank Miller, and focuses on a young girl with a mysterious power who is destined to become the tragic Lady of the Lake from Arthurian legend. 13 Reasons Why actress Katherine Langford, who was cast as an older version of Morgan Stark in Avengers: Endgame before her scenes were cut, will play the lead role of Nimue.

This re-imagining of the classic tale will follow Nimue shortly after the death of her mother as she befriends a young mercenary named Arthur (Devon Terrell), taking him on a quest to find the wizard Merlin (Gustaf Skarsgård) and deliver the all-powerful sword known as Excalibur.

Cursed in set to premiere on July 17. Check out the trailer below and let us know what you think in the comments.

Based on the upcoming book of the same name, Cursed is a re-imagining of the Arthurian legend, told through the eyes of Nimue, a teenage heroine with a mysterious gift who is destined to become the powerful (and tragic) Lady of the Lake. After her mother's death, she finds an unexpected partner in Arthur, a young mercenary, in a quest to find Merlin and deliver an ancient sword. Over the course of her journey, Nimue will become a symbol of courage and rebellion against the terrifying Red Paladins, and their complicit King Uther.

Well? Do you guys plan on checking this one out?

Got some nice Spartacus vibes from that trailer. Might be worth a look.

@Buckkit - The trailer definitely reminded me of that style. Still iffy, but I'll probably give it a try.

Wait wasn’t Nimue the name of the Blood Queen in Hellboy?

@Ha1frican - Yeah, she was. After all Hellboy wielded Excalibur too.

Looks generic as hell. Typical of your usually basic Netflix flick.

It's crazy that the greatest movie sword design is still from Conan the Barbarian. I like the etchings on this one though.
