Together with the director of the movie “The Sword of King Arthur”, the actors and screenwriters were forced to fail at the box office with fees less than the filming budget. The situation was not better with the reviews of critics at the premiere.
About the film
According to the calculations of the producers and the crew, on the project “King Arthur’s Sword” the actors and roles were selected not on one tape, but on a series of films in continuation of the same topic. Immediately it was planned to work on continuing the history of Camelot in a deadly siege. But the failure of the picture at the box office questioned these calculations. It is unlikely that the producers are "eager" to take risks again, the audience is also not too concerned about whether the sequel will be filmed.
It’s hard to blame someone alone on the crew for the failure, the director bears most of the responsibility, but the film’s negative reviews also mention the actors ’play and the unsuccessful script. Claims are caused by the plot, staging and even special effects in the frame.
Of course, it was director Guy Ritchie who felt the whole “severity” of the failure: the author of a huge number of cinema masterpieces clearly “pursued” the trends in audience demand and tried to please the mass audience. Apparently, nothing came of this. After the premiere of the film “The Sword of King Arthur”, the actors will remember the year 2017 for the biggest failure in their career. Richie himself does not yet know whether he will shoot the sequel.
Charlie hunnam
He played in the picture of the protagonist. The ruler of Camelot Arthur in his performance did not cause much enthusiasm among the critics - they criticized this role. But they also responded about everyone on this project. It is unlikely that Hannam should blame himself for the failure.

By that time, the Englishman remained a sought-after actor for 18 years, he had accumulated dozens of major roles in the track record. On the project “The Sword of King Arthur”, actors from among his shooting partners noted Charlie’s high professionalism in work. Although he cannot boast of a good cinema or theater school, Hunnam has been gaining acting experience for almost 19 years.
