'The Green Knight's New Character Posters for Dev Patel's Sir Gawain Will Set Your Heart Aflame
If you’re feeling nostalgic for those Disney posters of Zac Efron, A24 is releasing some adult versions for your teen heart pining away for Dev Patel‘s gallant Sir Gawain in The Green Knight. A24 is very aware of their influences, noting that the posters are “Medieval Times meets Tiger Beat,” the latter being a popular tween magazine in the 2000s. The new posters highlight Patel’s Sir Gawain in Ella Enchanted-fashion, with some broody and saucy pics in various knits and period garb. Even if director David Lowery‘s typical slow-pacing and enigmatic plotting don’t connect with every viewer, audiences of every age can agree that Patel does indeed deserve his own “hot knight centerfolds.”
Patel stars as Sir Gawain in Lowery’s The Green Knight, an adaptation of the epic 14th-century poem of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. Sir Gawan is King Arthur’s nephew who embarks on a quest given by the titular knight, a Treebeard-like creature. Patel is joined by an incredible cast including Alicia Vikander, Joel Edgerton, Sarita Choudhury, Sean Harris, Kate Dickie, Barry Keoghan, and Ralph Ineson.
