First trailer for Western thriller The Harder They Fall starring Jonathan Majors and Idris Elba

June 25, 2021 by Amie Cranswick

Netflix has released a trailer, poster and images for the upcoming Western The Harder They Fall. Written and directed by Jeymes Samuel, the film stars Jonathan Majors (Lovecraft County) as an outlaw who reunites his old gang to track down and seek revenge against his enemy (Idris Elba) upon his release from prison; take a look here…

When outlaw Nat Love (Jonathan Majors) discovers that his enemy Rufus Buck (Idris Elba) is being released from prison he rounds up his gang to track Rufus down and seek revenge. Those riding with him in this assured, righteously new school Western include his former love Stagecoach Mary (Zazie Beetz), his right and left hand men — hot-tempered Bill Pickett (Edi Gathegi) and fast drawing Jim Beckwourth (R.J. Cyler)—and a surprising adversary-turned-ally. Rufus Buck has his own fearsome crew, including “Treacherous” Trudy Smith (Regina King) and Cherokee Bill (LaKeith Stanfield), and they are not a group that knows how to lose.

The film features a cast that also includes Zazie Beetz, Delroy Lindo, LaKeith Stanfield, Danielle Deadwyler, Edi Gathegi, R.J. Cyler, Damon Wayans Jr., Deon Cole, and Regina King.
