David Lowery’s The Green Knight, starring Dev Patel, is dropping in the USA this weekend. The expectations from the fantasy adventure movie are sky-high, primarily due to the director’s previous work.

The Green Knight is a medieval era epic fantasy inspired by the poem “Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.” Apart from Dev Patel, the movie also features The Falcon and the Winter Soldier fame Erin Kellyman (Karli Morgenthau) in a secondary role.

What to expect from The Green Knight?
As already mentioned, The Green Knight is based on the 14th century chivalric romance “Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.” The movie will feature Dev Patel as King Arthur’s nephew Sir Gawain, who will come to loggerheads with the Green Knight, played by Ralph Ineson.
The Green Knight has received an R rating which implies that the epic fantasy project will feature tons of blood, violence and some graphic scenes, including nudity. Hence, The Green Knight is meant for a mature audience.
The movie is expected to feature a plethora of medieval fantasy scenes that viewers above 17 can watch in their nearby theaters. It will be interesting to see if David Lowery can enact another masterpiece, or if the movie will get panned.
