After Joker, audiences are waiting to see Joaquin Phoenix in another character-driven role. The actor will be seen portraying the historical personality Napolean in Sony Pictures' upcoming historical epic. The first look of Phoenix as Napoleon has been revealed at CinemaCon. See it below:
In the intense footage that the media saw at CinemaCon, Napoleon is seen trapped by the Russian and Austrian armies. Napoleon looks at enemy troops through a spyglass before he screams, "Wait! Let them think they have high ground."
As the enemy begins to invade, Napoleon tricks his opponent into retreating onto a frozen lake. They scream, "It's a trap," and then Napoleon unleashes his cannons that quickly shatter the ice, sending the troops and horses to an icy, cold, watery grave. The response has been overwhelming at CinemaCon. We will have to wait until Thanksgiving to see it.
