The first trailer for The Green Knight, a medieval fantasy starring Dev Patel with giants, talking foxes, and a brave knight was released.

The Green Knight directed by David Lowery (A Ghost Story, Pete’s Dragon), is based on the 14th-century poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and it will tell the story of Sir Gawain (Patel), King Arthur’s headstrong nephew and Knight of the Round Table, who goes on a quest to confront the Green Knight (Ralph Ineson), a green-skinned stranger. Gawain will face off with ghosts, giants, thieves, and schemers while trying to prove himself to his family and the kingdom.

“And what do you hope to gain in facing all of this?” Joel Edgerton’s kingly character named Lord asks of Sir Gawain in the trailer. “Honor,” Gawain answers. “That is why a knight does what he does.”

The film also stars Alicia Vikander, Sarita Choudhury, Sean Harris, Kate Dickie, Barry Keoghan, and Erin Kellyman. Lowery is producing with Toby Halbrooks, James M. Johnston, Tim Headington, and Theresa Steele.

The Green Knight is set for a July 30 release date. Watch the trailer below.
