Yeah, yeah, stay with me – I really didn’t see this one coming either, despite hearing the earlier news about casting and the title treatment, but this first trailer for Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves is quite fun, with more than a lot of essence of Guardians of the Galaxy, in an anti-hero sense, as we possibly move to a new era of fantasy escapism, with the year ahead also seeing the likes of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, and the new House of the Dragon on the horizon.

Starring Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez, Regé-Jean Page, Justice Smith, Sophia Lillis, Chloe Coleman, Daisy Head and Hugh Grant, the latter who’s clearly having the time of his life since Paddington 2 and continuing to take on roles we never thought we’d see him in (and all the better for it), Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves follows “a charming thief and a band of unlikely adventurers, who undertake an epic heist to retrieve a lost relic, but things go dangerously awry when they run afoul of the wrong people.”

Directors Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley are aiming to bring that rich, playful life from the roleplaying game to the big screen, have a watch and let us know what you think:
