New ‘Kid Who Would Be King’ Trailer and Character Posters Further Reveal the Adventure
20th Century Fox has released a new trailer and a series of
character posters for the upcoming family adventure film The Kid Who Would Be King. Aside from the fact
that this is a new, family-friendly take on the King
Arthur legend, this is also the long-awaited second film
from Attack the Block director Joe
Cornish. Written and directed by Cornish, the story brings the King
Arthur epic to the modern world as a young boy named Alex (Ashbourne
Serkis—yes, that Serkis)
stumbles across the mythical Sword in the Stone and must unite his friends and
enemies into his own Knights of the roundtable in order to defeat a wicked
enchantress, played by Rebecca Ferguson.
Oh, and Patrick Stewart is
Merlin.
There’s a
really great sense of adventure to be found in this trailer, and what I’ve
liked about the marketing thus far is this looks like a movie that’s not
ashamed it’s family friendly. It’s not trying to draw an older crowd in with
“edgy” gags or pop music. Instead it leans into the classical nature of the King
Arthur story, and to my mind it’s all the better for it.
Check out
the new Kid Who Would Be King trailer
and character posters below. The film also stars Dean
Chaurnoo, Tom Taylor, Rhianna
Dorris, and Angus Imrie. The
Kid Who Would Be King opens in theaters on January 25th.
