Saoirse Ronan and Margot Robbie are channelling their inner queens for Josie Rourke’s new film, Mary Queen of Scots, which released an official trailer on Thursday.
Based on John Guy’s book Queen of Scots: The True Life of Mary Stuart, the film tracks how Stuart (Ronan), widowed as Queen of France at 18, returns to her ancestral Scotland and makes a claim to the throne of her homeland and of England, pitting her against her cousin, Queen Elizabeth (Robbie).
Robbie and Ronan play the historical rivals as strong-willed women whose urge to rule and serve as lawmakers shine through.
Set for release in December, the film also stars Jack Lowden, Joe Alwyn, Gemma Chan, Martin Compston, Ismael Cruz Cordova, David Tennant and Guy Pearce.
