100 Nights of Hero, the upcoming historical dramedy starring Emma Corrin and Nicholas Galitzine, has released its captivating first teaser trailer.
The upcoming film, which is based on Isabel Greenberg’s 2016 graphic novel, sees Galitzine portray Manfred, a “charming” individual who is enlisted by a “neglectful husband” to test his wife’s, Cherry (Maika Monroe), fidelity.
After Manfred’s arrival at a remote castle, a dangerous and cunning game is played as the “delicate dynamic” of the household is thrown into “chaos”, with allegiances often being unknown. Corrin features as Cherry’s maid (and potential love interest) Hero, who becomes suspicious of the castle’s new guest.

Corrin, best known for their role in The Crown, spoke with Entertainment Weekly about the project, teasing: “Films like this are the reason I love my job. Julia has brought the beloved graphic novel to the screen with so much feeling, heart and vision.”
“From the moment I first read the script, I was immediately drawn to the story,” added Monroe, who recently garnered acclaim for her performance in Longlegs. “After meeting Julia and hearing her unique vision for the film, I knew I had to be involved.”

Galitzine, best known for Red, White & Royal Blue and The Idea of You, offered some tantalising details about his mysterious character, describing him as “exceptionally charming and Machiavellian” while possessing a “sliver of goodness”.
“He is very much a product of the patriarchal society he’s bred in… He is relentless in his ambitions and pursuit of Cherry,” he continued, adding that the film was an “otherworldly fairytale about true love and those who come between it”.
100 Nights of Hero is released in cinemas on 5 December.
