Sir Gawain and the Green Knight

The Movie

Sir GawainPlayed by Brad Pitt

Sir Gawain is modest and ambitious, however he is also dishonest, cares deeply about how he is perceived by others, and is said to be the weakest of King Arthur’s Knights of the Round Table.

Brad Pitt was chosen for this role because he fits into the physical profile of Gawain, and also would do a fantastic job at portraying his personality.

Lady BercilakPlayed by Anne Hathaway

Lady Bercilak is beautiful, delicate, young, clever, smart, and flirtatious. She is also a great manipulator and is very persuasive when it comes to something that she wants.

Anne Hathaway would be perfect for this role because she embodies a beautiful yet mysterious woman, and she has also been known to have the ability to be a very flirtatious actress in some of her previous films like playing Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises.

BercilakPlayed by Russell Crowe

Bercilak is a sturdy, good natured, bearded, aristocratic, boisterous, powerful, brave, and generous ruler. He runs his castle with those distinctive qualities which can be seen when he openly invites Gawain, a stranger, into his home and smothers him with kind gestures.

Russell Crowe was chosen for this role because he is a very strong figure. He just gives off the vibe of a man who looks tough on the outside, but is actually a kind hearted person on the inside, which is exactly what the role of Bercilak needs. He has shown these attributes in some of his movies like The Gladiator and Les Miserables.
