Adam Driver is a Full on Knight in Set Photos for Ridley Scott’s The Last Duel


Kylo Ren may be a fallen Jedi in Star Wars, but Adam Driver is set to play a medieval knight in Ridley Scott's upcoming The Last Duel. The movie is currently undergoing production, and some set photos have come out of Driver decked in armor.

You can check out the images here.

What's interesting is, Driver is actually playing a role that was originally meant for Ben Affleck. Affleck is still a part of the film only in a supporting role. It's kind of a waste, seeing as Affleck was supposed to go up against his good friend Matt Damon; I mean, the two have been together since Good Will Hunting, and it would have been cool to see the two together onscreen again.

Going back to Driver though, I have no doubt that he's going to do great in the role. Everyone loves his performance as Kylo Ren, but he peforms fantastically in his other roles; I mean, the guy's a two-time Oscar nominee, two years in a row.

Here's the movie description according to Variety:

Set in 14th century France, the movie is an epic tale of betrayal and justice, told from three distinct points of view: two knights (Damon and Driver) whose bond is tested by treachery and a young woman (Jodie Comer) forced to navigate the brutal and oppressive culture of the era in order to survive.

The Last Duel is set to come out Jan. 8, 2021.
