Chris Pine is Scottish legend Robert Bruce in the new Netflix film, Outlaw King, and the first trailer has got us excited for the movie.
Many of us know Chris Pine best as Captain James T. Kirk from the JJ Abrams Star Trek movies or as Steve Trevor from Wonder Woman. However, he’s taking on the role of a historical figure from Scottish history, Robert Bruce.
In Netflix’s upcoming movie Outlaw King, as the official Netflix description explains, Pine portrays the story of the Robert Bruce as he goes from a defeated nobleman to an outlaw hero during Edward I of England’s oppressive occupation of medieval Scotland.
Netflix has just released the new trailer, and it looks like Outlaw King will be a sweeping, engrossing journey into the lives of one of Scotland’s heroes.
In the movie, Pine not only depicts Bruce’s fall from grace and inevitable rise as a hero to Scotland in the face of oppression, but we also see him take back the Scottish crown and fight back against the King and his son, the Prince of Wales. Bruce and his men fight for freedom bravely, despite the dire consequences facing them should they lose.
The movie looks like it will be an exciting historical adventure, and will also carry the timely message of the importance of fighting back against oppression. While the bits we get to see in the trailer make it seem like Pine portrays Bruce incredibly well, we can’t wait to watch the entire movie to see how he brings this legendary figure to life.
Outlaw King will release in select theaters, but it will release worldwide on Netflix on November 9. So be sure your queues are ready to see this exciting adventure with Chris Pine in a role unlike any we’ve seen him in recently.
