[@christiannachel2710]

Finally an accurate depiction of Henry in all his ruthlessness that doesn't romanticize him.

[@mnomadvfx]

No, it's just romanticizing someone else instead to make the story more interesting. It's the same thing with any historical Hollywood fare, they pump up the protagonist by cutting everyone else off at the knees, regardless of whether they deserve it or not. The black female NASA computer staff historical film Hidden Figures is a classic example - woefully inaccurate even to the autobiographical novel the film is based on, let alone the overall historical accounts of NASA and IBM which are both defamed up the wazoo to make the 3 protagonists look more interesting and underdog like.

[@jacklhisc]

Check out the TV series Wolf Hall, another unflattering depiction of Henry

[@slytheringingerwitch]

You mean when he romantically had Anne Boleyn's head sliced off with a sword or Catherine Howard's cute execution by axe? So glad it'ss not like that.

[@shanec9840]

@@mnomadvfxhater, see you later 👋🏾

[@DCI-Frank-Burnside]

A lot of historians say he was an awkward, insecure man who lacked presence, which he overcompensated for through image management (see the famous Holbein painting). I think the reason he is such a focal point for British historians is that he is the historical figure that is seen as ushering in the early modern period.

[@ElvisRose_]

Finally a movie about Henry VIII that isn't about Anne Boleyn!

[@nelliethursday1812]

I want a movie about the other Anne. Anne of Cleeves

[@_0xx0_]

Well, she was the biggest thing that happened to that bastard.

[@hanhanlon4441]

@@_0xx0_ Which "she?" Anne Boleyn, Anne of Cleves, or Catherine Parr? I'm going with Boleyn.

[@SassyBelle711]

Anne of Cleeves and Catherine Howard

[@kingkiller7890]

Same but at the same time I understand why people are so intrigued by Anne Boleyn's story, it's definitely an interesting one!

[@alexjurchescu4833]

This is the best trailer I have seen in years. Couldn't even recognize Jude Law. Had to watch it twice.

[@margaretforsey7763]

I didn’t recognize him, either!

[@mitzifountain4274]

Same!

[@keelahrose]

SAME!! Even though his name is in the title, it took me like 90 seconds to realize he was Henry!

[@lovepet4565]

Hes getting older lol can play these parts

[@GH-fb9dh]

Jude looks amazing! Every good actor needs their breaking “ugly role”

[@ChuckTheMystery]

Alicia Vikander is one of the rare actresses who can make you feel every emotion with just a single look. When watching The Danish Girl you felt sadness and sometimes even joy from her. With Ex Machina you felt fear of what she might do next. Even with Tomb Raider, you felt her adrenaline which led to excitement. In Tulip Fever you questioned her every move and motive but somehow still wanted her to win..and on and on. Firebrand may just put her on that Oscar stage yet again!

[@belly.g.r]

She is so underrated.

[@adrian102]

Hey! She’s my favorite actress not yours! Lmao

[@BadFluffy]

True. She can make you feel bored with one look, and her only facial expression

[@ZairaWardrope]

The Light Between Oceans and Submergence are some of my favourites.

[@ChuckTheMystery]

@@ZairaWardrope Submergence….what a film! Wow…great call there!

[@courtneym75]

omfg finally a film about a Henry VIII Wife and it's NOT Anne Boleyn! I may actually have to go see this one. I love C. Parr. Also: thank god for more accurate historical costuming

[@PozoBlue]

Take my money already!! This looks amazing. Alicia Vikanders is magnetic and I nearly spit out my tea when I realized that was Jude Law!

[@keelahrose]

Same!!

[@desmondjefferson2127]

Man, I had to pause it, look, and I STILL didn't believe it. I had to look up the cast..... I may try to find a bookie for the next Oscars, he's probably gonna win with this role

[@ceciliaramoscastillo2809]

I was looking for him...until ...wow I´m old

[@taylormullen2815]

We love an accurate Henry! His cackle was horrifying. I can't wait to see what Alicia does with this role.

[@antmagor]

Frankly, I’m amazed there haven’t been more films about Katherin Parr. For me, she remains a figure of constant fascination. On one hand, she is the wife who survived and nearly swayed the king into reforming the church of England. And helped shape Elizabeth. On the other hand, she is the stepmother who betrayed the princess who she loved as a daughter for a man who by today’s standards would be regarded as a pedophile (though honestly that’s what he should’ve been considered even for his time).

[@user-xb7zj3lo1c]

She's my fave - i have a society about her on Instagram!

[@scribbly2983]

She's known as the survivor but the sad truth is she was dead less than a year and a half after Henry VIII died.

[@patriciahayes2664]

Catherine was betrayed by her husband Thomas Seymour when he started hitting on the teenaged Elizabeth Tudor. Catherine found them embracing and had Elizabeth banished from Sudeley Castle. 🤔

[@renata8979]

That has always seemed so confusing - she was, by all accounts, a smart woman, how could she not see that at least something was off about Thomas Seymour?

[@patriciahayes2664]

@@renata8979 Catherine Parr and Thomas Seymour had planned to be married, but Henry VIII wanted to marry her himself and nobody said no to Henry in that regard. So after Henry died, Thomas and Catherine were free to wed. Thomas was one of the most charming scoundrels around and Catherine was a very human woman. It's more than likely that he fooled her into thinking that his early morning visits to Elizabeth's bedroom was all in good fun until a heavily pregnant Catherine later caught them together in an embrace. She then had Elizabeth removed from Sudeley Castle, where they were living at the time, and sent to live with Sir Anthony Denny at Cheshunt in Hertfordshire. Catherine and Elizabeth never saw each other again.🤔

[@Baelzar]

That's Jude Law?!

[@keelahrose]

It took me half the trailer to realize that was him! WOW!

[@bpure2560]

No it's Ronnie Pickering.

[@BadFluffy]

@@keelahrose Well he's old and puffy. Also balding but he wasn't going to look like a 20 year old girl his whole life. Age has set in.

[@Mandyb05]

I didn't even recognise him. I thought they didn't add him in the trailer until people said it was him. Guess I have to watch it again now. 🤣

[@keelahrose]

@@BadFluffy a “20-year-old girl”??? Jude law used to be one of the most beautiful men alive. He’s still handsome and now he can get roles that reflect his talent more than his looks. We all get less attractive as we age. You will too if you’re lucky.

[@stephieirene1]

There's no way Catherine and Henry spent that much time together in real life. Also, I bet Jude Law loved this role!

[@Daniel__Nobre]

Indeed. This is one of those that claims to be "inspired by real history" but it will be basically 98% fantasy and just modern themes and modern behaviours transposed into that period. I´ll still watch it eventually though, because I love historial movies and both Alicia Vikander and Jude Law are awesome :)

[@Janelane529]

Considering this movie is about when he came back from France after her regency, I'm going to have to disagree with you.

[@ladymoonglow1]

Jude Law has been able to play with a lot of meaty roles over the last decade and a half. You should see him in The Young Pope; he gets to play this incredibly complex character and he does a great job showcasing the dynamics of unconditional power. Perfect practice for Henry!

[@m8trxd]

Omg shut up and take my money!! I have chills this is gonna be sooooo goood!

[@rosierennie5867]

When I saw the thumbnail for this I thought "For gods sakes, another Boleyn film" IM SO GLAD I CLICKED.. We need more media about Catherine Parr, and Henry's other wives: Anne of Cleves and Catherine of Aragon

[@ScottishDalek]

Glad to see Katherine Parr getting a film made about her, it looks great and I can’t wait to see it!

[@Collsy100]

Could we please get a whole franchise of these, please? Period accurate clothing, hair, and makeup; a historically accurate portrayal of Henry VIII; the story told from his wife's point of view; a focused, grounded narrative that isn't just about his marriages, but about the politics of his time. I don't care if there would be time skips between films to make them work and some recasting possibly- this is great.

[@jenniferrobbinsmullin3417]

Finally a movie I'm willing to go to the theater to watch!

[@dramachannel2740]

@Jenniferrobbinsmullin3417 You didnt see The Last Duel ? That was good

[@amyrashap5713]

Agree!

[@StarUnreachable]

I'm a big fan of Joely Richardson in The Tudors, but this looks a lot more historically accurate. Looks cool!

[@user-xb7zj3lo1c]

Alicia is much younger - and make you realise she wasnt this old maid! She was only 30!! same age at anne bolyen (potentially)

[@bpure2560]

Historically accurate? 😂 Henry was famously ginger and a lot fatter.

[@renata8979]

@@user-xb7zj3lo1c she also had no children at that point so there was no excuse to age her up so much in The Tudors) Also, I had a moment of "isn't AV a bit too young?"... and then realized she is 35, just like me)

[@Daniel__Nobre]

I have no hopes for this to be more historically accurate from what the trailer gives away. I actually have no hopes whatsoever that this will have any accuracy at all, at that level. Names of people and places.. maybe some dates and a couple of main events.. But the rest will probably be all fabricated and the characters will behave like modern people, like it happens in 98% of movies today.

[@StarUnreachable]

@@renata8979 And Catherine Parr died at 36, so age is appropriate there.

[@jillcoster315]

Looks amazing! Jude Law is an undeniable force! And Alicia Vikander !

[@patriciahayes2664]

I'm a Tudor buff and this looks thrilling. There have been so many films about Anne Boleyn and her daughter Elizabeth I that both topics have become threadbare, so it's about time that Catherine Parr should get her own movie because her story is just as taut as those of Anne and Elizabeth.

[@bjornjohansen9688]

Can they please give Jude Law an Oscar now? He is well overdue.

[@ljc3484]

yes!! And he should have received a Golden Globe for the Young Pope.

[@Daniel__Nobre]

@@ljc3484 Gattaca, Cold Mountain, Closer, Sleuth, Existenz, The Talented Mr Ripley. He has built quite the amazing career, despite some weird role choices along the way :D

[@opheliawinfrey9501]

[@vODDEVILISH]

I still remember being fascinated by Catherine Parr when I saw Joely Richardson in The Tudors. Can’t wait to see Alicia Vikander in this role, one of my favorite actresses. Both her and Jude Law look great here!

Looks amazing, Parr has never been given her due on the screen. What great actors. Cannot wait.

[@keelahrose]

Wow! I barely recognized Jude Law! Even though his name was in the title it took me half the trailer to realize he was Henry. Fantastic job blending into the role. And it's great to finally see Catherine Parr's story told. So many movies, series, etc. focus on the first three wives that we barely ever hear anything about the last three. Nice change of pace! I'll see this one for sure.

[@jazminmuro9692]

Catherine Parr was the only woman who survived as his sixth wife. Truly a very smart lady to have survived a mad tyrant of a husband.

[@just-tess]

thank goodness Alicia has such a distinct voice bc I could *not* tell who was supposed to be talking otherwise

[@lovergirl2277]

Alicia Vikander and Jude Law are unrecognizable in this film

[@mrsgollum]

The costumes look much more accurate to the time period than any recent Tudor-set productions I can think of.

[@katie_otoole]

Okay... this looks incredible.

[@hanhanlon4441]

Either or both of them BETTER get Oscar nominations for this, especially Jude. I've been impressed with him for years now.

[@ArlettyAbady]

Becoming Elizabeth was the first time there was a good depiction of Catherine Parr's intellectual pursuits. Looking forward to this more in-depth one.

[@LaraJeanWade]

Alicia Vikander is my favourite

[@tracys169]

I can't wait. Finally, the focus on Catherine Parr. We've had a LOT focusing on Anne Boleyn and/or Catherine of Aragon. I can't wait to see this one, plus Alicia Vikander is a fantastic actor.

[@whatever96]

I was feeling that we have not had a Henry the 8th movie in a few years. I am glad they corrected that. Until the next one!

[@lostredsock6989]

Wow!! this and another season of Wolf Hall .... rocking the Tudors!

[@Janelane529]

Ugh Wolf Hall. I love parts of it, but this looks far more promising. I hate Wolf Hall's Anne Boleyn and HATED their Wolsey even more- and I adore Jonathan Price! At least it's my favorite Cromwell, which is what the show is about, so it works overall... I just wish we could stop vilifying any of the victims of Henry, especially Anne.

[@GrasImOhr]

Wow it took me half the trailer to figure out who the heck might play King Henry until I rememberd I read the name Jude Law, and hot damn I can't believe that's him!

[@Daniel__Nobre]

I don´t think I have ever seen a trailer trying so hard.. It basically tells the all movie in a couple of minutes. Also every time I see a "Subversive" quote now it really helps me know that it is something to steer away from as much as possible. This movie, despite the amazing actors, seems to be one of those that is basically full-on fantasy disguised as a "true story" (basically Im tired of the Braveheart approach.. History is usually amazing by itself and so much better and interesting than what scriptwriters tend to completely invent and "fetichise" about).

[@matttriano]

THAT ACTUALLY LOOKS GOOD

[@biancalande5450]

I agree that there’s too much focus on them, but Katherine Parr was a fascinating woman and she hasn’t received as much attention as she should have.
