Watch ‘The Woman King’ Movie Trailer as Viola Davis Rules | Video
The official trailer of one of the most anticipated movies in 2002, ‘The Woman King’ has been released. In the first trailer for Gina Prince-Bythewood’s upcoming historical action film, it’s clear to see this casting has led to action brilliance.
In the trailer, King Ghezo (John Boyega) narrates, “An evil is coming. That threatens our kingdom. Our freedom… But we have a weapon they are not prepared for.” Watch the trailer below.
The movie unveils a fully-armed Viola Davis as the powerful Nanisca, backed by an entire army of troops. The scene sent chills down the spine of fans and movie lovers all over the world.
While Nanisca gives a powerful speech about standing up to fight the colonizers who threaten their liberty, we get a hint at the daring action sequences The Woman King is offering up as reported by the Daily Beast.
In one death-defying battle—don’t worry, it’s just practice—Lashana Lynch’s warrior balances a double-edged spear on her chest, with a man at the other end pressing the spear into his pecs. At any moment, the wrong move could shove the spear straight into her heart.
The trailer is loaded with other impressive combat moves: fully choreographed group scenes, Viola Davis launching herself at an enemy with an ax, sick bow-staff moves.
Clearly, the women-led army is up for the task of defending their land, and they’re willing to stop at nothing to get the job done and the colonizers defeated.
