Charlie Hunnam Swings His Massive Sword In New Trailer For King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword

A new trailer has arrived for Guy Ritchie’s King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword, and its safe to say it’s a little different from the traditional tale of the Knights of the Round Table. Lots more explosions, for one…

This new take on the classic tale sees Charlie Hunnam’s Arthur living in exile, while Jude Law’s evil Vortigern lords it over the city of Londinium. “I’ve never had any power… nor any desire to achieve it,” says Arthur, but while he might be keeping things low-key, a prophecy declares that “the born king will come”. Time to saddle up, Arthur… there’s a kingdom to take back!

Check out the new trailer, below…

Looks pretty mad, doesn’t it? Nice to see Game of Thrones's Littlefinger (AKA Aiden Gillen) popping up in there, while apparently there will also be a cameo for David Beckham somewhere too. Hopefully Ritchie has made his character a knight, or Becks will be kicking off…

Co-starring Djimon Hounsou, Katie McGrath and Eric Bana, King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword will open in the UK on 12 May 2017.
