First trailer for Mary, Queen of Scots starring Saoirse Ronan and Margot Robbie

July 12, 2018 by Amie Cranswick

Following yesterday’s character posters [take a look here], Focus Features has debuted the first trailer for director Josie Rourke’s historical drama Mary, Queen of Scots. The film stars Saoirse Ronan as the titular monarch and Margot Robbie as Queen Elizabeth I alongside Jack Lowden, Joe Alwyn, Gemma Chan, Martin Compston, Ismael Cordova, Brendan Coyle, Ian Hart, Adrian Lester, James McArdle, David Tennant, and Guy Pearce; watch it here…

“Mary Queen of Scots” explores the turbulent life of the charismatic Mary Stuart (Ronan). Queen of France at 16 and widowed at 18, Mary defies pressure to remarry. Instead, she returns to her native Scotland to reclaim her rightful throne. But Scotland and England fall under the rule of the compelling Elizabeth I (Robbie). Each young Queen beholds her “sister” in fear and fascination. Rivals in power and in love, and female regents in a masculine world, the two must decide how to play the game of marriage versus independence. Determined to rule as much more than a figurehead, Mary asserts her claim to the English throne, threatening Elizabeth’s sovereignty. Betrayal, rebellion, and conspiracies within each court imperil both thrones – and change the course of history.

Mary, Queen of Scots is set for release on December 7th 2018 in the US and January 18th 2019 in the UK.
