After months of waiting, we finally get to see Connor Swindells as Gessler in the epic drama William Tell! The first trailer for the movie was just released, and let’s just say Connor looks menacing in it.
William Tell premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival this September and is set for release in the UK on January 10, 2025. It’s based on Friedrich Schiller’s 1804 play, which follows Swiss marksman William Tell as he defends his family and Switzerland from the Austrian king’s attack.
In this movie, Swindells plays the role of Gessler, the Habsburg bailiff whose brutal rule leads to the William Tell rebellion. Claes Bang stars as William Tell, while Golshifteh Farahani, Jonah Hauer-King, and Ellie Bamber portray Suna, Rudenz, and Bertha, respectively. The movie also features Rafe Spall, Emily Beecham, Jonathan Pryce, and the legendary Ben Kingsley in undisclosed roles.
Swindells is currently busy filming Jingle Bell Heist with Olivia Holt and the drama series Lockerbie, about the deadliest terrorist attack in UK history.
With William Tell just around the corner and the trailer finally released, the wait is coming to an end. Check out the trailer now!
