A new poster for Napoleon shows the French emperor in Egypt, revealing just how much of history the film will cover. The movie stars Joaquin Phoenix in the titular role, showcasing his rise to power as well as his relationship with his wife, Joséphine. The film will be released in theaters on November 22, 2023.

Now, the official X (formerly Twitter) account for Napoleon has released a new poster showing the famous emperor in Egypt.

His presence in the North African country indicates the film will cover his campaign to seize land from the Ottoman Empire within that time period. This was unsuccessful for the emperor, indicating how the movie may focus on both his rise and fall.

The upcoming film about Napoleon will chronicle the history of the famed Emperor of the French, showcasing his attempt to conquer the world. Given how much of a tactician he was in real life, the film will no doubt explore this element of his character. However, his presence in Egypt on the latest poster means the movie will also focus on his failures.

Alongside Phoenix, the cast of Napoleon is made up of multiple talented actors who will be bringing the tyrant's legacy to life. This includes Vanessa Kirby (The Crown),Tahar Rahim (The Serpent),Matthew Needham (House of the Dragon),Youssef Kerkour (Home),and Ben Miles (The Promise) among others. With a core cast made up of seasoned actors, the conquest of France's most famous leader has plenty of promise.
