Jude Law is assuming a kingly role in Firebrand, a 2024 film that explores the life of Henry VIII, one of England’s most well-known kings, and his last wife Katherine Parr, who is portrayed by Alicia Vikander. In fact, the film made its premiere in the spring of 2023 at the Cannes Film Festival, where it competed for the prestigious Palme d’Or award. The film will now be available for wider audiences to see as it has secured US distribution. In light of that, the following has all the information you require about Firebrand, including the remaining cast members and the movie’s release date.
Firebrand: release date
Firebrand has been given a June 21 release date in the US, in the heart of the summer blockbuster season.
It actually shares that date with The Bikeriders, meaning June 21 could be quite the atypical weekend for summer with a couple of more drama-heavy movies.
