Currently, Joaquin Phoenix is in the UK shooting his next film, where he will play Napoleon Bonaparte, which will be directed by Ridley Scott, with whom he worked 22 years ago on “Gladiator”.

This Thursday, the first images of the actor characterized as the French general has been leaked, which despite not being official, have good quality.

Previously, the film would be called “Kitbag”, but it ended with the title “Napoleon”, and in it, we will witness the rise to power of the French emperor, as well as his relationship with his wife Josephine de Beauharnais, who will be played by Vanessa Kirby.

THE CAST OF “NAPOLEON”

Within the cast are actors such as Tahar Rahim, Youssef Kerkour, Liam Edwards and Mamie Barry, among others. The script will be in charge of David Scarpa, with whom Scott worked on the film “All the Money in the World” in 2019.

Currently, the 84-year-old filmmaker is enjoying great success for one of his most recent films, “House of Gucci”, starring Adam Driver and Lady Gaga.

“Napoleon” does not yet have a scheduled release date, although it is expected to arrive on the Apple TV + platform by the end of the year, or in early 2023.
