The production of The Last Duel was shut down in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
But a trailer for the all-star blockbuster has finally been released, with actress Jodie Comer, 28, sharing the clip on Instagram on Tuesday, and writing: 'The Last Duel. I feel so proud to share this. What a dream come true. #TheLastDuel October 15th @20thcenturystudios.'
Jodie, who plays Marguerite de Carrouges in the Ridley Scott-directed epic, can be seen in character at the start of the promo, as a booming voice says: 'There is only one question that matters. Do you swear on your life that what you say is true?'

Adapted from Eric Jager's book of the same name, The Last Duel follows the true story of Jean de Carrouges (Matt Damon), a 14th century French knight who embarks on a fight to the death with former friend Jacques Le Gris (Adam Driver) after accusing him of raping his wife.
Jodie's character Marguerite is the woman at the centre of the fight in the movie.
In the trailer, Killing Eve star Jodie can be heard saying as Marguerite: 'My father told me my life would be blessed with good fortune,' before she declares: 'I'm married, I was a good wife.'

She then explains: 'And then I was judged and shamed by my country.'
The two knights, Jean and Jacques, can then be seen preparing for their duel as they mount their horses in front of a baying crowd.
Marguerite then shouts: 'I say before all of you, I spoke the truth.'
