Mary Magdalene gets a poster

Mary Magdalene is an authentic and humanistic portrait of one of the most enigmatic and misunderstood spiritual figures in history. The biblical biopic tells the story of Mary (Rooney Mara), a young woman in search of a new way of living.

Constricted by the hierarchies of the day, Mary defies her traditional family to join a new social movement led by the charismatic Jesus of Nazareth (Joaquin Phoenix). She soon finds a place for herself within the movement and at the heart of a journey that will lead to Jerusalem.

Written by Helen Edmundson and Philippa Goslett, the film is directed by Garth Davis and also stars Chiwetel Ejiofor and Tahar Rahim.

The first trailer has been released and the film is out in the UK on 16th March 2018.
