The Woman King trailer shows Viola Davis as a fierce warrior leading her army into battle

In a time when being a woman is considered to be weak, the only option for some is to take their own life. All hope is not lost, however, as this trailer for The Woman King reveals. The famous actress Viola Davis plays Queen Tara who has been fighting against men’s domination of the world from behind the scenes. Her time has finally come and she will lead her people into battle in an attempt to restore femininity and equality on earth once again. Based on the true story of a group of ancient African women, this film will be one to remember. The powerful portrayal of Queen Tara and her courage and determination to gain respect for women is inspiring. She is joined by an equally impressive cast, including Margot Robbie and China Anamege.

Historical Romance or Spiritual Viewing? Twitter Reactions To The Woman King Trailer

The trailer for the upcoming film ‘Mary Queen of Scots’ was released at the beginning of this week and many people were confused as to whether it was being romanticized or spiritualized. The trailer shows two worlds colliding, with a very young Mary, played by Margot Robbie, in one and her older self traveling through time in another. While some appreciated the creative use of technology to create a unique storytelling experience others were concerned with what this means for current narratives surrounding British history. Is there any more room for interpretation?
